Day 1 – JANUARY 6, 2019

Oh So Close

Scripture: James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Thought for Today: How close do you want to be to God? Our walk with God consists of a daily relationship that we establish with Him through a desire to know Him. He invites us to get to know Him through developing a close, personal, intimate relationship with His Son Jesus Christ. Some Christians believe that once they have accepted Christ as Savior and have been baptized that they can place their relationship with God in “lack of care mode” expecting God to do all of the drawing while they continue to live as they want. However, a close relationship requires a daily, continual and active pursuit of God in our lives.

James gives clear insight (James 4:8) on the pursuit of a closer relationship with God by challenging believers to initiate the closeness and God will respond by becoming increasingly closer. This means we must spend more time in His presence in prayer, worship and studying His Word. James further challenges us to “cleanse your hands” and purify your hearts”. These are daily acts of confession and repentance apply the blood of Jesus to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness.

The phrase from the song ring true:

Draw me nearer, near blessed Lord

To the cross where Thou hast died

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord

To Your precious bleeding side

It’s Time to Pray: Heavenly Father, I desire to draw closer to You and I am committed to showing You by spending time in your presence and cleansing my heart through confession and repentance. Please stay close and reveal your plan for me today and every day.

Philippians 2:5

⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

⁷But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

⁸And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

⁹Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹¹And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Palm Sunday

Posted on Mar 20, 2018 in General | 674

Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, one week before His resurrection (Matthew 21:1–11). As Jesus entered the holy city, He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha. He had come to save the lost (Luke 19:10), and now was the time—this was the place—to secure that salvation. Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called “Passion Week,” the final seven days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Palm Sunday was the “beginning of the end” of Jesus’ work on earth.

If we confess our sin…

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. –1 John 1:9

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please forgive me of my sins today. I will wash myself daily by confessing and repenting of my sins. Your word tells me that the blood of Jesus will cleanse me of all sin and I will be forgiven. I will also study your word diligently and hide it in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.
