December 9th: Rising to the Occasion

December 9th: Rising to the Occasion

James 4:8 - "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."

Dough, when kept in the right environment, rises beautifully. Our spiritual growth mirrors this phenomenon. As we draw near to God, creating the right environment of prayer, worship, and obedience, our spirits rise, flourishing in His presence.

This rise is not just about personal growth, but about growing closer to God, understanding His heart, and reflecting His glory.

Reflection Questions  

1. How am I actively drawing near to God?

2. What changes can I make to create a better environment for my spiritual growth?

Morning Prayer 

Lord, as I draw near to You, let my spirit rise in Your love. Elevate my understanding, deepen my faith, and let me reflect Your glory in all I do. Amen.
