Drawing Me Nearer

Just like Josh, I had some real thoughts going on in Burroughs writings on pages 47 to 50ish. The passage "Deuteronomy 4:17" which actually was quoted from 4:7, shows just how awesome it can be to be a people, a person, who has God near to them. If your familiar with Chris Folson and his praise song, "I walk by faith", he has the same idea of the power of God with Him when he sings "if my God is for me, then who can stand against me". By that same power is evil judged, the righteous rewarded and the universe sustained. And God, the source of this amazing power, has chosen to allow his creation to come along side him? Simply awesome. How can i really understand the goodness of Him? But that was exactly what Burroughs was saying. Pg 48, top paragraph "You who are near to him... This is your privilege, and you should count it a great honor" Just as the nation of God could draw near to Him, as individuals through the Gospel we can draw near to God. This choice to come along side with God is a vital step, overlooked by many members of God's congregation, to being able to truly worship. To first reconcile with Him and then worship Him.
