Read Jeremiah 27 - 30
Jer 30:21 ‘Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them. I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?’
HEAR the LORD’s words as he proclaims the time for his people at the end of the exile. Note how God will raise up one from within the midst of his people and that this person will be devoted to him.
God invites you to be close to him. Yes, he has made himself available. He has revealed his law through the prophets, his grace through Jesus, and his knowledge through the Holy Spirit. All of this he has done so that you may desire to be close to him.
In response to his passionate desire for you, grow closer to God by learning who he is through the bible and learning from others’ experiences with him. In prayer confess your sins and praise him for your blessings. Listen to his teaching and you will find new power and strength in your life. Step in faith into new places in your life to serve others, learn from others and teach others. You will grow closer to God.
“Who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?” God asks. He would like you to answer, “Me, Father, Me! I want to be close to you.”
