Get Closer

The starting point for this devotional is James 4:8, which promises that when we move toward God, he moves toward us. For those who trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the believer already stands as close to Jesus, in spiritual terms, as closeness allows. Yet everyday pressures and hardships can make him seem remote.

Van Moody guides readers through a year of weekly devotions, fifty-two in all, that focus on hearing God. Readers are encouraged to set aside time each week to grow in intimacy and faith and to encounter God personally. The book is subtitled A Devotional for Encountering God.
