We live in a world where there are dangers ever ready to destroy our sweet fellowship with the Master.  When we draw close to the Word and stand on its promises, the light of Jesus’ presence is as close as our breath.  He says He will not leave us or forsake us.  I think we are wise to camp as close as we can to God; our help in times of trouble.

Camp Close to God

Camp close to God in the wilderness of sin,
Do not wander away from Him.
When He says it’s time to move on,
His Word you can and must act upon.
He is your provider in every way,
So close to Him you must stay.
He is the bread that feeds you without and within,
All your provision comes from Him.
He clothes you with attire from above.
In His covering provided by love.
Your God has the plan perfect so do not fear;
Just keep your heart free from turmoil so you are able to hear.
When you camp close to Jesus you walk in the light.
In you and through you He shines bright.
The air smells sweeter by His camp-fire;
He gives songs of praise and holy desire.
So come closer and closer each day,
One day a new journey begins when Hw takes you away.

John 15:4-5
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
