James 4:8 DRAW NEAR GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU.
It seems that many times when I am struggling with sin, that God is distant. I think that it is a simple equation, Your walk is close to God, yet as we sin, if we choose to continue in sin, we see God less because we continue to seek sin and quickly we become to a point of worship that only consists of confessions and doing so repeatedly....and in worse case we come fully involved in the sin and cease our communication with our Father.
I believe in the immaturity of our walk, we sin and instead of run to God, we hide. And as we grow we tend to run to Him more quickly when we sin. When we sin and recognize so, Gods heart is that we go to Him in our sorrow. Yet if we continue over and over the same sin, then it is time to increase our prayer life.
Lord, help me in these times to obediently fast....so that I might become HUNGRY for you again.
See when we fill up on the junk food of life we become to full to appreciate the
LIVING BREAD and LIVING WATER of Jesus Christ.
So in fasting we simply become hungry and we fill our hunger pains with Gods bread ( His Word ) and we wash it down to digest with His Living Water ( HIS SPIRIT )..... God fill us with you, as we draw near to you this day. Amen.
