THE LORD IS NEAR YOU

t is God’s will that we should acknowledge Lord Jesus as our personal Savior. He wants us grow in the ‘the stature of the fullness of Christ.' He wants us to be like fruit-bearing green trees, which grow on the banks of rivers flowing to their brim. Likewise, the lives of those who own Christ ought to flourish and prosper.

How to be united with God? If we want to be deeply rooted in Lord Jesus Christ, we have to read the Bible intensely and meditate on His law day and night (Psalm 1:2). This will help us to remain in Him and live a fruitful life planted by the rivers of water (Psalm 1:3).

Employed women have dual duties- attending to work at the right time and looking after home and children. As tiredness overcomes them, some fail to read the Bible earnestly and meditate on God. Unable to concentrate upon matters pertaining to God, many women backslide. This is a dangerous situation for the devil makes an easy prey of them and wears them out.

But when we analyze the lives of truly devout men of God, we find that they are extremely careful in the knowledge of God. They spend hours together in the company of God and reading and meditating on the Bible. Despite teeming temptations, their lives seem like those built upon the rock.

The word of the Lord says, “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.” (Psalm 145:18). If we are faithful in calling upon Him and seeking Him, He will be helps us to remain in Him and live a blessed life.

Dearly beloved, you should be cautious about finding time to interact with God, read the Bible and live with Him in close harmony. Then whatever be your imperfections, He will rectify them and perfect them; He will give you a perfect growth in Christ and will help you to remain in Him and live a fruitful life.
