Granting Holy Access

God has given us access to His presence and His
holiness, but He will not force us to use it. Too
often, we are lukewarm in our recognition of God's
presence, and we dutifully treat relationship with
Him as an obligation, rather than a priority. Because
God is continuously committed to us, even when
we struggle to be committed to Him, He provides
specific instructions in the Bible to help us move past
casually acknowledging His presence, to knowing
the fullness of His presence. These are not laws
He commands us to obey; they are God's counsel
regarding how we can protect and pursue deeper
relationship with Him.
