Morning Line: Draw near to Overcome

Morning Line: Draw near to Overcome!

 “Come near to God and he will come near to you…” James 4:8

Resisting the devil is imperative, but it is not the endgame. This is: ‘Come near to God and He will come near to you.’ Satan’s goal is to drive a wedge between you and God,  you keep him from doing it by closing the gap between you and God! Beware distancing from God is done unconsciously. You become preoccupied, self-centered, and over-committed, prayer is limited to grace over meals, and Bible-reading to the pastor’s sermon.

God’s word says “…Pay more careful attention, therefore, to what [you] have heard, so that [you] do not drift away” Hebrews 2:1

Distancing is a subtle drift, Satan’s goal is to separate you from God and His blessing. Like a soldier who’s cut off, you become an easy target

 “If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble” Ecclesiastes 4:10 

Distancing from God is a choice. But it’s your choice, never God’s! He says, ‘…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee’ Hebrews 13:5

Whatever your circumstances, He remains faithful to you saying, ‘When you pass through the waters…the fire…I am with you…’ Isaiah 43:2-5

What’s God’s part? ‘He will make a way where there seems to be no way.  Take one step in His direction and He will close the gap, embrace, secure, and enable you ‘…to stand up to everything the devil throws your way…’ Ephesians 6:11

“You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand has supported me; your help has made me great.
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip” Psalm 18:35-36
