drawing closer to God

Want to make the devil run for his life?

" Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil , and he will flee from you."
Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners ; and purify your heart, ye double minded."
James 4: 7-8

Isn't that awesome!!
The closer we come to God, the farther we get from the devil and the power that he has on us.

That why I love our Bible reading time each day so much for-- because not only are we taking in God's word, but we are also leaving less time for the negative things.
Some times the end of a day will come, and I feel bad that we did not end up reading the Bible that day. And it makes me feel really bad. Then I console my self that it is not really important to read everyday-- It is the life we live, not our daily Bible reading that counts.
True of course.
But the Bible reading time is more valuable than just learning God's word, it is taking time up that may other wise be used negativity.
So it is a totally win win thing!!

And here we come back to that verse again! "When we draw near to God, the devil will flee from us".
When we fill our lives with Bible reading and prayer time, quality family time, pure thoughts, good books, and other good and wholesome things : we leave no space for Satan! He will just have to go knocking on someones eles's door, cause we have no time or space for him!!!

May you have a very close and fullfilling walk with our Lord!!
In Him,
Mae
