Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today, as I was looking out into our back yard, I saw a shadow moving on the door casing right next to me. It wasn\u2019t big, but as I looked up onto the glass in our back door, I saw that it was a very tiny bug that was casting its shadow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The shadow of this bug was much bigger than the bug itself. This was caused by a distance between the light (the sun), the bug, and the object that the shadow was being cast upon (the door casing).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God immediately showed me that it is the same with us and Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we stay close to God, we cast no shadow ourselves. We only reflect His light onto others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But if we pull away from Him, we begin to cast a shadow that is shaped like us, not Him. And the further we get from Him, the bigger that shadow gets, looking more and more like us, and less like Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is why it\u2019s so important for us to stay so very close to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In addition to keeping our relationship with Him strong, it also keeps us humble, causing us to want people to see Him, not us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being close to Him prevents shadows from forming that may draw attention to us. And it will keep us from looking bigger than Him, as shadows can do sometimes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There is nothing better than being close to Him. Nothing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, we urge you to seek Him. Stay close to Him. Make Him your everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Because in the big scheme of things, nothing else matters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
