CLOSE TO GOD

Many of us feel close to God. We come to worship, pray, even get involved in many ministries. However, in the midst of all that, there is one simple question that is often forgotten: Does our life truly reflect closeness to God?

In the expression of his heart, David asked a question, who may dwell in your sanctuary? The answer doesn't point to spiritual rituals, but to a way of life. Today's verse answers, "The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart." This made David understand that being close to God is not about position, but about integrity. It's not about how often he is seen doing spiritual activities, but whether his heart and actions are in line with the truth. David realized that God wants to see the fruit of that closeness. God judges hidden honesty, unseen truth, and loyalty when he has to choose between what is right and what is comfortable.

Am I someone who is close to God? If I am close to God, I will reflect that closeness in my daily life. I will certainly guard my words, respect others, be faithful to promises, and not take advantage in ways that are not right. Closeness to God is not just spoken, but lived in everyday life that is simple and real. Closeness to God is not built in the spotlight, but in consistent integrity.
