How Do I Draw Near to God and What Happens When I Do?

Anyone who has traveled with children has heard the question, most likely repeated every 10 miles, “are we there yet?” and “how much further?” 

Implied in these questions is the goal of arriving at one’s destination: closing the distance between where you are, where you want to be, and where you are going. I hold to the belief that this should be a resolution of every believer in the new year, that is, drawing nearer to God. The question we will address this week is based on the text of James 4:8 and the exhortation Scripture gives us to draw near to God. We will look at four ways this is accomplished in real life and are ways available to every person who holds this desire.
