We Need to Be Near God

“But as for me, it is good to be near God.”
Psalm 23:28

Have you ever thought about how we go about the task of keeping close to God? In order to keep our fellowship and be in the Spirit of God in our lives, I believe there are three things that we need to do. The first thing we need to do is to be in constant study of God’s word. His scriptures are meant to lead and guide us in the way we are to live. These scriptures will come alive and have meaning to you when you study and meditate on them each day. You must be constantly reading, studying and applying His wisdom and knowledge to your daily life. The more you study His Holy Word the more that will be revealed to you. The second thing is to speak to God all during your day with prayer. When you make God first in your life, you need to talk to Him. God hears your prayer and will respond. God will talk to you and let you know His will for your life through prayer. When you align your desires, your will and your life to God, you are now walking in his ways and His desires become your desires. His will now becomes your will. Your purpose in life and God’s plan for you will be revealed and your life will reflect what God desires for you. The third thing is to share with others. God gives each of us gifts and talents that we are to use in His glory. We must remember to share our gifts and talents with others, so that we will become a witness of Christ’s love for us and others. We are to become an evangelist to spread the word of God to all. When we share God with others, things begin to also become deeper within us, and we become closer to God also. When we practice these three things, we will always be close to God, and He will work in our own lives, and bless us. We all need to experience God on a daily basis and let Him lead us on the paths we need to follow.
