Sometimes life's pain can be so physically and/or emotionally draining that something needs to give... quickly. When even the best of human efforts makes little difference, there is always something we can do - "cry out" to the Lord.
I can draw near NOW! No manipulation, no formula, no rituals, no devotion can make me any closer than I already am. His work did it!
While the enemy is voicing what you lack, God is voicing what you have! And right now you have green grass UNDER YOU. The finished work of Jesus Christ is literally UNDER YOU and IN YOU. Sit in it.
And the beauty of Christ’s resurrection power is that He showed it in order to share it!
