Description
A lot of scripture talks about the preciousness and importance of drawing near to God. For instance, David only sought after one thing, which was to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord; Enoch walked with God for 300 years; Mary sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to His teaching. This is the good portion, and it’s absolutely necessary. Many Bible passages also tell us that the Lord desires us to draw near to Him. For example, 1 Thessalonians 5 says that we are living with the Lord whether we are awake or asleep. The Song of Solomon tells us that the Lord desires to see our face and hear our voice. One of the blessings of the new covenant is for everyone, from the young to the old, to know God. Drawing near to God is the infinite and endless peak. It’s the one thing that we cannot miss out on in our lives.
