Janes 4:8 "Draw near to the Lord, and He will draw near to you."

 That might seem pretty simle. A no-brainer, even. Until we take a step back, and try to remember how it sounded to unsaved ears. Alpha and Omega, the great be-all end-all of everything that ever is, was, or will be wants to talk. To just start regularly hanging out, in fact. All we gotta do is be cool with it and respectfully say, "Yeah. That sounds good." And then, He'll come bless us beyond imagining. That's what James is talking about.

Numbers 6:24-26 "The Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord Make His face to shine upon you, and give you peace."

 This was the blessing spelled out for Moses, just before the children of Israel entered the promised land. Right after this, God said he'd put His name on them, and bless them. As a believer, you're grafted in! It's how God wants to bless you. Just accept Him, and live like it, And the Lord's face will shine on you.         If you enjoyed that, check out my Substack, @voiceinthewildernes1. And then, tell your friends!

Genisis 1:31 "God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good."

 A Hebew understanding of good is more than just correct, or appropriate. It means synchronized, like clockwork, with every little piece making every other piece work better. And if that's just good (Heb. tov) which is what He said about each part, how perfect His finished creation must be! And you're a part of that. So, it's obviously very good.  If you enjoyed that, check out my Substack, @voiceinthewilderness1.And then, tell your friends!

Ecc. 7:28 "God has made man, but man looks for many devices."

 That could just as well say, "Man looks for anything better." But that's not possible. God is good, in every possible sense. He doesn't just do good things, God  is  goodness itself. That might be confusing, but every good thing comes from God, every good thing happens because of God. So, by lining ourselves up with the way God does stuff, that translates to maximum good things!  If you enjoyrd that, check out my Substack, @voiceinthewilderness1. And then, tell your friends!
