Seeking God:
One thing I am praying right now that I learn, and that I am in the midst of learning and forever will be learning I feel because there is so much to learn on this one subject! let alone so many others!!
So here are my thoughts:
Seeking God is and should be the center of our actions, our attitudes, our thoughts...
All through our lives we will either be seeking God, or we won't be seeking God. About every story in the Bible, in its essence, whether it was meant to be shown or not, is about whether the people are seeking God, or not seeking God. When we seek God, we are fixing our eyes on Jesus, on God's ways, His Holiness and power and forgetting ourselves.
There are so many verses in the bible, on seeking God.
a few are:
Luke 11:9 "So i say to you: Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you will find knock and the door will be opened to you." Are you seeking God like you would search for a hidden treasure?!?!
John 15:7 "If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you." Keep your focus on God, keep His words and His statutes in your heart and mind and seek Him and you will find and receive what it is you desire and long for IN HIM!
Right now i am reading Fearless by Max Lucado and this is an excerpt from the book.
"Seek first the kingdom of wealth, and you'll worry over every dollar. Seek first the kingdom of health, and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. Seek first the kingdom of popularity and you'll relive every conflict. Seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. But seek first his kingdom, and you will find it. On that, we can depend and never worry."
We will always be seeking something, whether we are aware of this or not. So my prayer is that we are aware of what it is we are seeking. and that we are seeking God in all things. and submitting ourselves to His ways and to never stop seeking Him.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33
