Draw Near To God And Trust Him

-August 6, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Wednesday,

“But is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works.”

(Psalm 73:28).

For every believer should have this glorious aspiration to draw near to God. Spiritually, the Lord Jesus brought us near through His blood. This is quite a contrast with our former life of being very far from God.

We draw near to have an audience with our King. We can access the throne of grace at any time day or night. Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and grace to help in time of God.”

Drawing near to the Lord Jesus is an invitation, a command, a promise, and a blessing for us. In a world that demands our time and attention, we need to draw near to the Lord and worship Him. James wrote in James 4:7, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…” He longs for us to near to Him.

The hymn writer Catesby Paget wrote a beautiful hymn entitled, “A Mind at Perfect Peace.” The third verse says, “So near, so very near to God, I cannot nearer be; for in the person of His Son, I am as near as He.”

Have a blessed day drawing near to our Heavenly Father through our blessed Savior. Stay safe and healthy.

When we worry or fear, we find great peace in drawing near.
