It all just becomes a car stuck in the sand, spinning it&#8217;s wheels on the beach going no where. Running with God is running with THE CHAMPION. There&#8217;s no drifting. But there is a secret to running with God. That secret is contained in James 4:8 and it&#8217;s all about drawing near to God.
