God
Thinking speaks about a sweet Savior, one not to be forgotten day to day,
but praised and worshiped.
God
Thinking sees the Word of God, (not only as the final
authority for godly living and righteous stewardship), but the only
authority for godly living and righteous stewardship.
God
Thinking yields to the leading of the Holy Spirit and resigns all to the Word of God.
God
Thinking sees the throne of God as the place of acceptance,
where in God’s presence, God’s people are most comfortable.
Can you
pray this prayer?
Holy
Father, help me to worship you in Spirit and truth.
Help me
to seek your face.
Help me
to accept the changes you make in me.
Help me
to believe you and to be able to distinguish your voice from that of religion.
Help me
to trust your Word.
Amen.
Are you
ready to draw closer to God today?
James
exhorts us to “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh unto you...” James 4:8
The Word
of God says draw nigh to God. If you were
already as close as you could get, then drawing nigh wouldn’t be an option. But God calls you to draw nigh, because He
knows that every time you draw nigh, you will get closer, and no matter how close
you get, you can draw nigh and get closer still.
Drawing
nigh to God - being in the presence of God, is by choice.
God
willed that you would have to will to receive Christ - Even though God draws you
to Himself, by Christ, you don’t have to come."
You don’t
have to receive the free gift of salvation.
Neither do you have to draw closer to God.
When you draw close to God, you get closer:
- Not because you are pure - but to be purified.
- Not because you are holy, but to be made holy.
- Not because you are righteous, but to receive righteousness.
- Not because you are complete, but to be made complete.
- Not because you have it all together, but so that God can put it all together."
