James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Want to know how to hear from God? Draw near to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Want God\u2019s protection in your life? Draw near to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Want God to help you avoid temptation and break the bonds of sin in your life? Draw near to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Want to know how to better understand God and His ways?<\/p>\n

You guessed it; draw near to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So many of us want to know God better, want Him to show us things and want Him to bless our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The key to all of this is to put Him first in everything and to draw near to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Don\u2019t let anyone complicate it for you. It\u2019s not as hard as some might make it sound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yes, God is very deep, and His mysteries are beyond human intellect. But He doesn\u2019t make it complicated for us to get close to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We just have to have a strong desire to do so, and then we need to put forth the proper amount of effort to make that happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, if you\u2019re longing to be closer to God, seek Him. But don\u2019t just seek Him casually. Seek Him with your whole heart!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
