Let Us Draw Near To God

 The plans, privileges, prosperity, and pride of the wicked will one day evaporate like the morning mist, while those that trust in the Lord will be held steady by the strong arm of our God, guided by His counsel, protected by His grace, and at last received into glory.
 We live in a day and age when to all intents and purposes, it appears that the wicked are prospering abundantly, while the prayers of the godly seem to be rising to a steel sky and a closed heaven. Nevertheless, we have our Lord's assurance that the sufferings of this present life cannot be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us.   We have a blessed hope that is anchored in Christ and an inheritance that is secured for us in heaven.
 Let Us Draw Near To God, catching hold of His eternal perspective and trusting in His unfailing love with all of our hearts. Let's not allow the circumstances that surround us and the apparent successes of the ungodly to cause us to doubt the goodness of God. But rather, let us declare the wonderful works of Him Who has saved us by grace through faith in Christ, adopted us into His own family, and covered us in Christ's robe of righteousness.
Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this reminder in the Psalms, that wicked men and women are on a slippery slope to destruction, unless they turn from their wicked ways and trust in Christ for salvation. Thank You, Lord, for Your never-failing goodness and grace towards us. May we draw ever closer to You and declare the wonderful works of God in the land of the living, knowing that our times are in Your hands and our future is secured for us in heaven. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
