Draw Nigh to God

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

( James 4:7-10 ) KJV

Danby House

I live in fear of my doublemindedness.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

( James 1:5-8 ) KJV

But I long to draw nigh to God

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

( Psalms 4:4 ) KJV

If we draw nigh to God he will draw nigh to us:

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

( Psalms 65:4 ) KJV
