Being a Friend of God

From: Live Full Lives Daily Devotion

James 2: 23


God wants to be our friend, and he also wants to walk with us. But if we are asked, "Do we want to become God’s friend and walk with Him?" Fasting and Prayer where we can get closer to God more, and as our friend, he would do anything extraordinary in life us.
There are 3 ways to become friends of God:

1. Learn to know God earnestly. We know God through His Son Jesus Christ, through creation and through His Word. Knowing God intimately will make us God’s friends.

2. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. At the moment we believe in the Lord with all our hearts we will know him truly. God wants us to be his friend every day, not just once a week at the church. By becoming God’s friend then God will help us from all the problems that we face.

3. Life always in the presence of God. When David fell into sin, he immediately turned to God and still wanted to always be in the presence of God. That was what made God continued using David in an extraordinary manner. We are often disappointed to God and make us out of the presence of him.

Therefore, let us know God earnestly, trust Him with all our hearts, and always long to live in the presence of God. So we will be His friends and he will do mighty things in our lives.
