This is truly amazing.

Yet I undervalue it.

I suppose because it’s “just a given,” one of those Christianity 101 things that is so essential and yet so…common.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. -James 4:8.

Enoch walked with God. —Can two walk together, except they be agreed? -It is good for me to draw near to God.

The Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seek him, he will be found of you: but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. When they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, . . . and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.Gen. 5:24.

-Amos 3:3. -Psa. 73:28. II Chr. 15:2,4. Jer. 29:11-13. Heb. 10:19-22.

See what I mean?

…I am cut off.

I just read this a few minutes ago…and — Wow! — can I connect with it:

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. —Lam. 3:26.

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? —I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. —Wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee. —Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord.

Let us not be weary in well doing: . . . in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. —Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

Psa. 77:9. –Psa.31:22. Luke 18:7,8. -Prov. 20:22. -Psa. 37:7.II Chr. 20:17. Gal. 6:9. -Jas. 5:7.

But how am I supposed to “make this work”?

How do I implement it in “real life”?

How do you?
