When you open your Bible, God opens His mouth. #godstillspeaks Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,- 2 Timothy 3:16 #godspeakstome Don't say God is silent when your bible is closed. #studyingtheword God's will is found in God's Word. Stop looking for a sign and start looking for a scripture. #godspeakstous One of the most dangerous things a Christian can do right now is neglect Bible reading. Thousands of voices are attempting to convince you how to think. Be certain, you are being shaped. More scripture, less social media. More Bible, less books. More prayer, less blog posts. #voiceofgod If you can't hear God speaking to you then maybe you're too preoccupied with your own voice. #godsvoice God speaks to those who take time to listen and He listens to those who take time to pray. #godspeak We can encounter God and draw closer to Him in the pages of His Word!

God is close and always available to you. #godispresent The great thing about God is you don't need to schedule an appointment to meet with Him. He is available every second of every day. #godisalwaysthere GOD WILL ANSWER. He is always online, always plugged in, always connected to us and what we're up to. Doctors, lawyers, family members or friends may not always be available. But God is, and always will be. #godisnear Even when you don't feel Him, God is there. #godspresence God's Spirit is always near and always available to us whenever we call out to Him. #godisthere How you feel doesn't determine how close God is. #godiswithyou God is as close to you as simply calling out His name. #godiswithyoualways There is no place you have to go to without the LORD's presence. #godwillneverleaveyou Regardless of where we are, our Father in heaven is always near. #godspresence God is not far from any of us. #presenceofgod When we are stressed and full of anxiety it's because we refuse to acknowledge the presence of God. He is near to us, all we need to do is turn to Him. #drawclosertogod 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

It is so painful when people call us hypocrites or our friends will talk behind our backs to tell other people that we are double-minded and hypocrites. This is why we live our lives carefully and always assess our actions to check if we offended someone or if we did something wrong to people so we won’t be the spotlight of their next conversation. We are living our lives trying to please everyone. 

Sadly, we are only mindful of our actions when it comes to the people around us. We are only mindful of our actions when it comes to pleasing the people that surround us. As long as they are pleased, we feel satisfied and we think that we already achieved a goal. How about our actions in the eyes of God? How about minding our actions in accordance to what pleases God? Well, ironically, what pleases other people is disgusting to God’s eyes and what pleases God is foolishness to the other people. This just clearly shows that light and darkness can never have union. 

In our verse today, James wants to remind us to draw closer to God. Sometimes we think that we are already so closed to Him and we are having fellowship with Him, but in fact, we are not. Again, we live our lives double-mindedly— pleasing the people around us and trying to please God. However, as we try to please other people around us, it is just an avenue for sin to crawl to the surface. 

Humans are only pleased if there is an act of sin because of our sinful nature. We always dwell in sin. So, as we sin, we are destroying our fellowship with God, for sin can put a big barrier between man and God. Though nothing can separate us from His love, sin can slowly destroy and kill our fellowship with Him until it is us who will personally withdraw from God. 

Therefore, God wants to remind us through this verse in James that we just have to draw closer to Him. Indeed, it is not God who stepped away from us but it is us who stepped away from Him because of all the things we thought matters most above God. His love is enduring and always there, but it is us who rejects it. God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all of our unrighteousness if only we just draw closer to Him and He promised to draw closer to us— to reach our stretched hands. 

We do not want to be called hypocrites so let us live our lives Christ-like because we call ourselves Christians— followers of Christ but we cannot see Christ in our lives. As Christians, we should imitate our Savior and be in sync with all of His teachings. It is indeed through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that can save us from death, but with true repentance and faith, Christ’s life will manifest in us. 

Let us draw nearer to God and ask Him to cleanse us from all our sins. We must not mind what the people will say around us, calling us double-minded and hypocrites because what matters most is what we look in God’s eyes. God will release His wrath to the people who are sinners, but if God sees Jesus Christ in us, if He sees that we are already clothed in Christ’s righteousness and holiness, we can be saved. 

So we must not live our lives pleasing the people around us, instead, we must live our lives holy and pleasing in God’s eyes. We can never live like this without Christ in between. Let us therefore, put our effort, our trust, our hope, our faith in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We may think that we are already so sinful and too ashamed to draw to God, we must remember that God loves a repentant heart and He is really forgiving and just. He will accept us so we just have to draw near to Him for He promised to draw nearer to us. 

We should come before God, with hands washed clean, purified hearts and one-minded that only focus on Him through the blood, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. We must also remember that compassion is different from compromise, so let us not live to please others and compromise our faith. Let us live to please God with our lives bound in the death and resurrection of Christ. Amen.

HEY BELIEVER

Don't ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet. You will always have struggles. But they're just temporary circumstances meant to strengthen your resolve, establish your faith and settle you. It will (at times) seem like a long journey, but don't get comfortable in the struggle. #YourChangeWillCome. #KeepPraying. #KeepBelieving. #DrawCloserToGod and He will reciprocate. The further from Him you get, the stronger the desires and attitudes of your flesh will become. Put the pains of the past behind you. #TrustGod to mend that which has been broken. Only He can make you whole and bring complete restoration in your life. #HeLovesYouSo. He's proved it time and time again (as well as on Calvary.)

#ThisIsMyHeartfeltChallengeToYou. Make it a great day. #ChaplainCate.

TIME TO GET MOVING

#GetUp, #GoHigher, #BeBetter... #DrawCloserToGod. Many are content to live beneath their privilege... like men in coal mines, who never see the sun. Don't settle for anything less than the best God has for you. Yes. It will take work, because anything worth having is worth the struggle. But #YouCanDoIt. Quoting Charles Spurgeon... "Get up, O believer, from thy low condition! Cast away thy sloth, thy lethargy, thy coldness, or whatever interferes with thy chaste, pure love to Christ. Make Him the source, the center, the circumference of all thy soul's delight. Rest no longer satisfied with thy dwarfish attainments. Aspire to a higher, nobler, and fuller life. Upward to heaven! Nearer to God!" Make it a great day. #ChaplainCate.
