Today’s Devotional
Troubled? Draw near to God. He is there for you…
Father, this simple admonition by James is a verse that constantly reminds us where the initiative must lie. We often lament over our circumstances, we feel alone, deserted and not cared for. Here we are taught by Jesus’ brother that when we set out to draw near to You, You will draw near to us. The ball is in our court. It is our responsibility to act rather to complain about feeling impotent, lonely or depressed.

MARK 10:32-34
32 …Jesus… took the twelve aside …and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:

34 “and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”
