Draw Near To God!
"But the Lord is faithful,
who will establish you and
guard you from the evil one."
2 Thessalonians 3: 3
Meister Eckhart was a medieval German preacher.
He said: “I am as sure as I live that nothing is so
near to me as God. God is nearer to me than
I
am to myself.”
How do we cultivate a sense of God’s presence?
It is important to begin and end the day with the
Lord, making time for silence, Bible reading, and
prayer.
Between getting up and retiring, pray quietly
about whatever comes. “Lord, bless this phone
call.” “Lord, help me rest on this flight.”
“Father,
encourage that sad face I just passed.”
If evil in the world alarms you, imagine how it
hurts the Lord to see it too. We’re not alone. We
have a faithful Defender, Friend, and Confidant
who walks with us through life.
He will guard us
from the evil one.
We have the presence of a faithful
God enveloping us day and night.
In that thought we can rest.
"We should grasp God in all things
and should train ourselves to keep
God always present in our mind."
