A Daily Devotion for Tuesday, April 12

James 4:8

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts you double-minded.

I love the first sentence in this verse: “Come near to God and he will come near to you.” We know God is everywhere; He is already near us. But to know God is to seek Him always and to keep ourselves as pure and free of sin as we can be. When I seek God, I am better able to hear him.

Holy One, bring me in closer to you. I will listen for your voice. I am sorry for my straying and my selfishness. Thank you, God. Amen
