"Drawing Near to God Is Good" for Us! -Conclusion

 No doubt you agree that drawing close to Jehovah is good. But meditating on exactly how good it is can motivate us to continue drawing closer to him. (Psalm 63:6-8) For example, we know that following a balanced diet, engaging in physical activity, getting sufficient rest, and drinking enough water are all good for us. Still, many do not give much thought to these things, and they neglect their health. Yet, more often we think about how healthy habits benefit us, the more likely we will be to maintain them. Similarly, we may know that drawing near to Jehovah is good for us, but meditating on the benefits of doing so can motivate us to continue drawing close to our Friend. -PSALM 119:27-30.

Read Psalm 73:28. The writer of Psalm 73 was a Levite appointed to serve as a musician at Jehovah's temple. He had likely worshipped Jehovah faithfully for some time. Yet, he still felt a need to remind himself and others that "drawing near to God" was good for him and them. What are some of the benefits of doing so?
