“STAY EVER SO CLOSE TO GOD, and you will not deviate from the path HE has prepared for you. This is the most efficient way to stay on track; it is also the most enjoyable way. Men tend to multiply duties in their observance of religion. This practice enables them to give The LORD money, time, and work without yielding up to GOD what HE desires the most—their hearts. Rules can be observed mechanically. Once they become habitual, they can be followed with minimal effort and almost no thought. These habit-forming rules provide a false sense of security, lulling the soul into a comatose condition. What GOD searches for in HIS children is an awakened soul that thrills to the Joy of GOD’S Presence! GOD created mankind to glorify HIM and enjoy HIM forever. GOD provides the Joy; your part is to glorify The LORD by living close to HIM.”
Scripture
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. DEUTERONOMY 6 : 5
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me to have an awakened soul that gets thrilled about being in your presence. And this advent season help me to cultivate a hope as I anticipate Christ’s coming – both in celebration of his birth and in the promise of his return. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
