Fresh Oil Devotional, Day 3: Drawing Near – Taking the First Step Toward God

Day 3: Drawing Near – Taking the First Step Toward God

Scripture: “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8

Reflection: Drawing near to God often requires us to step out in faith, especially in seasons when He may feel distant. This step toward God is a demonstration of trust, as believers seek Him despite doubts or discouragements. Even in times of dryness, He is present, and as we draw near, His closeness becomes more evident in our lives.

God’s invitation to draw near is open to all who are willing to seek Him. This simple yet powerful act of drawing near is a reminder that God is always close and ready to respond to those who seek Him. As believers approach Him, He meets them with the reassurance of His love, restoring their hearts and renewing their spirits.

Through the act of seeking, we find a newfound strength and a growing hunger for His presence. The closeness we experience with God in these moments refreshes our spirits and deepens our faith, inviting us to live fully from a place of connection with Him.

Prayer: Lord, help me take that first step today. Draw me close as I choose to draw near to You in faith. Amen.
