Nigh — Part 2
“Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4:8).
What does your weekend look like? Relaxing, sleeping in, a good book, just hanging out with a friend or family member, going to the mall … ? Whatever you do, remember the Lord is with you, as we were reminded yesterday. Don’t forget, whatever you do this weekend, and wherever you go, you will be taking the Lord with you. Some of the last words the Lord said to the disciples were, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:20). We can be thankful that He is with us, and for the promise, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).
Our God is always nigh! The question is, are we keeping close to Him? To “draw nigh to God” is to walk in a way that lets nothing come between us and God to cloud or obstruct our enjoyment of His presence. As you move about this weekend, make sure you do it in fellowship with Himself. Don’t be like Jonah who “rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord” (Jonah 1:3).
