BROUGHT NEAR

Ephesians 2:13 (NKJV) But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
   Comfort is a sense of ease when physically and emotionally we are not pressed and have grown accustomed to our surroundings. Remember the first time you were asked to do something that required the careful scrutiny of others, the anxiety, nerves, tension that erupted like a volcano, it soon passed with the action or completion of the task. For many these emotions still come charging in to wreck our comfort zone and the moment becomes a terror zone, wrecked by the thought of facing a new challenge.
   If the word relax would help many would take comfort in it, however the only real help comes from God who knows our weaknesses and will stand in the gap for us. How, He alone has paid the price for our  redemption, it is Him alone we find real peace and it is through God these difficulties we face are made clearly for our benefit. He wants to bring us near and He wants to show us how to get through, it is in Jesus and through His blood that we find rest. Won't you trust Him completely today, you will no longer be far but near to His mercy, and He will bring you through.
Heavenly Father help we need your presence to show the way, help for we are too weak to get through the difficulties ahead. Help Lord our frames are dust and they cannot support these attacks of the enemy. May all our thoughts trust You, Oh God, and may all the things that distract us be removed that You get first place in our lives. Amen
