When we are separated from God, we begin to be more like the world and practice bad habits. KNOW THIIS: GOD COMMANDS and DEMANDS US TO GET RID OF OUR BAD HABITS if we are to be reconciled to Him; seeing His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, so that by them we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1.3-4. Read also Romans 12.2; Galatians 5.24.

Lord, hear my plea, hear my call, take my hand lest I fall. Keep me near the cross, O lamb of God, where thou hast died. Keep me safe in Your everlasting arms where there is shelter from the troubled winds of life, where peace and stillness quiets the soul. Yes, take my hand precious Lord, lead me home.

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from all evil. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Set aside from your minds the trials and tribulations of the world and stay near to the heart of God where there is peace and release from your troubles. Proverbs 3. And some of the words from the spiritual song, “Near to the heart of God.”

If we are living with Jesus we have crucified the flesh with all its passions and desires. We belong to Him. We are walking with Him in the light of His word. We now present ourselves to God as being alive from the dead and our members as instruments of righteousness to God. Self examination.

We serve a never changing God Hebrews 13.8; Malachi 3.6. Finding the truth of God while studying His word is like finding a loved one still alive, buried in the rubble of of a disaster caused by war or an act of nature. Hearts are filled with peace, joy and thanksgiving toward God and lives are changed. Never fail to walk faithful in the light of God’s word.
