my daily labor to pursue,
determined only you to know
in all I think or speak or do.

2 The task your wisdom has assigned,
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
in all my works your presence find,
and prove your good and perfect will.

3 May I find you at my right hand;
your eyes see truly what I do.
I labor on at your command
and offer all my works to you.

4 Give me to bear your easy yoke
and ev’ry moment watch and pray
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to your glorious day.

5 For you I joyously employ
whate’er you in grace have giv’n:
I run my daily course with joy
and closely walk with you to heav’n

04~11~23 MESSAGE:

Drawing closer to God should be a priority for all believers. Some Christians desire this but do not know how to achieve it. Today, we will examine how we can get closer to God.

As much as going to church is very healthy for the believer, it his heart is not in love with the Lord, his service is not regarded by God. To draw closer to God, your heart must be ready and willing to submit to Him. There is no service to God without your hearts. To draw closer to God, you must check the state of your heart; it must be thoroughly cleansed with the blood of Jesus and the word of God. God loves to dwell in the hearts of men, to channel their desires according to His will and keep the fire of love ignited in their hearts.

You cannot draw closer to God when your heart has other desires above your desire for God; they will kill the zeal your have for God. Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” The heart is the deepest part of man and that is why God wants us to surrender it to Him. The word of God is another channel for drawing closer to God. God’s word reveals God to you. You can communicate with God through His word. There is no question that God’s word cannot answer and there is no situation that God’s word cannot overcome.

Psalms 119:11, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Sin is the entity that draws man away from God because God cannot behold iniquity. The word of God gives you knowledge and power to access the secrets of God. God is bound to His word. You cannot draw closer to Him without His word.

You can be a close as you want to be with God. Prayer is a very important key in this regard. You must make daily observance of your Quiet Time a top priority.

The time you spend in studying and meditating on God’s word daily as well as in praying to God will bring you into intimacy with the Almighty.

PRAYER POINTS:
