initiative. Sometimes, it's a phone call or a Facebook message, or a coffee. It's just the same with God!
Of all the people in the Bible, Moses was the one person who was described as talking to God as a friend. Moses had this wonderful privilege because he knew how to draw near to God.
As a person of power and influence, and leading a nation, he did not ask for more provision or more respect or even wisdom, he specifically requested for the presence of God to go with him. In response, God promised: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world."
The Bible promises that as we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. When we seek God and His kingdom first, everything else will be added to us; or in other words, God can fully entrust a person with the world when he knows that they only seek Him!
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
