Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
You can be as close to God as you wish. He will not push himself on you but if you draw nigh to Him he will respond by drawing close to you. Isn't it wonderful to know that we can be close to our God. He is kind and loving and wants a relationship with us.

Devotion: Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Want a happy heart? Put your trust in the Lord. He wants to ease your worries, but you have to let Him.

Devotion: Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Let's be diligent in our lives today. We get one shot at life, let's live it to the glory of God. When we work hard it is honoring to the Lord. Give your life your all!

Devotion: Matthew 26:38-44
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Even the people closest to us will fail us, but there is one who will never fail. When Jesus' closest friends failed him he went back and prayed. He didn't quit. When we are let down or sinned against, we have to let it go and keep going ourselves; knowing that God will always be there for us.

Devotion: Psalm 103:10-12
Psalm 103:10-12
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Thank God He does not deal with us as we deserve but is merciful. Praise the Lord for a forgiving God. If only we would show that same forgiveness to others...

Devotion: Philippians 3:3
Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh.
This one verse tells us 3 very important things we should be aware of on a daily basis.
1. Worship God in the spirit
2. Rejoice in Christ Jesus
3. Don't trust your flesh

Devotion - I John 4:11-12
I John 4:11-12
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
We can let others see God through us by loving them and caring for them. What an awesome responsibility we have. It is often tough to love as God loves, He loves the unloveable, but with His grace we can do it.
