As i choose

 Do you ever have those days that it feels like you are far away from GOD? It's like there is a great chasm that is separating you, or there is just a great distance that seems between you. I think we all experience that feeling from time to time.

Sometimes, that distance is just life; we live in a really busy world that only seems to get busier everyday. Sometimes, there are just other distractions that gets our attention. Whatever the reason, though, the truth is that we are as close to GOD as we want to be.

Today's word is James 4:8a, NKJV, which reads, "Draw near to GOD and He will draw near to you..."

We all have distractions and life is coming around us at warp speed, but, we usually find time to do the things we really want to do. I am talking to me. We find the time to watch TV, surf the web, check our status, etc., but, what if we spent just as much time drawing near to GOD?

When things have been really hectic and I haven't had a lot of time with Trish, I purposely make time. When I am feeling distant from GOD, I need to make time to be with Him. Because, as hard as it is to admit, I know that I can be as close to GOD as I choose.

Be Blessed,
