Keep Coming Closer

Image
The LORD is good, a strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows [He recognizes, cares for, and understands fully] those who take refuge and trust in Him. — Nahum 1:7 (AMP) In Isaiah 29:13 (NKJV), the Lord said, “…these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me…” Yahweh is good and it is good for us to draw near to Him, with sincere hearts. Let us make the Lord GOD our refuge and place our trust in Him alone. Be sure to tell of all His wonderful works. (See Psalms 73:28 AMP) “Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting.” (James (Jacob) 4:8 TPT) “But I’ll keep coming closer and closer to you, Lord Yahweh, for your name is good to me. I’ll keep telling the world of your awesome works, my faithful and glorious God!” — Psalms 73:28 (TPT)

Be All In

I will give them a heart to know Me, [understanding fully] that I am the LORD; and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart. — Jeremiah 24:7 (AMP) Don't be a half-hearted follower of Yahweh, wavering between the world and the Word of God. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. (See James 1:8) Be totally devoted to Yahweh. “Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make.” (Proverbs 3:5 TPT) “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth so that He may support those whose heart is completely His…” (See 2 Chronicles 16:9 AMP)  “You’re only truly happy when you walk in total integrity, walking in the light of God’s Word.” (Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭1‬ ‭TPT)‬‬ Blessed and favored by God are those who keep His testimonies, and who [consistently] seek Him and long for Him with all their heart. (Psalms 1...

In Passionate Pursuit

“ So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] LORD [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. ” — Hosea 6:3a (AMP) Let us press on to know the LORD. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared [with awe-filled reverence] above all gods. (1 Chronicles 16:25 AMP) For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him], and the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) (Psalm 117:2 AMP) May we be in a persistent, passionate pursuit of His Presence. Honor, heed (obey) and deeply cherish Him. “As sure as dawn breaks, so sure is his daily arrival. He comes as rain comes, as spring rain refreshing the ground.” — Hosea 6:3b (MSG)

Let it Rain

Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth. — Hosea 6:3 (NKJV) The Amplified Bible says: “… let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] LORD [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. ” When we are on a continual pursuit to know the LORD, He will come to us like the rain. The rain falls to the earth and replenishes it. When there is no rain, we experience a drought, things dry up and die. The ground becomes hard. But when the rain comes, things are refreshed and grow. When we pursue God, we will experience times of refreshing and growth. He will pour out His Spirit and restore and renew us. Hardened hearts will become soft and tender, allowing His love to flow through. Fall upon us O’LORD!
