The Seeker

 

You will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.  Deuteronomy 4:29

Being a creature of habit, I like to keep to my same routines each and every day.  While I have maintained my normal exercise regimen and other morning rituals, I have not been digging deep into scripture too much.  In fact, I have felt convicted about not spending much time seeking God by reading my bible, so yesterday morning, I read Luke 11, and, as always, that verse was exactly the one I needed for the day that awaited me.

To ‘seek’ God means to pursue Him as the only source of definitive truth and wisdom.  Instead of letting our problems pile up and seeking God out of desperation, how different would our lives be if we sought Him first and foremost in all matters?

To seek God and His way puts us on the path of a life that is blessed and pleasing to Him. 

Wherever You Find It

 

If you seek him, you will find him.  1 Corinthians 28:9

Sitting down to enjoy a meal together as a family sometimes proves to be quite difficult in our home.  The other night, we almost finished eating dinner before any of us realized we had forgotten to bless our meal and give God thanks.

Life can become so fast-paced and hectic at times, it’s easy to forget that God is with us all day, every day, at all times, ready to listen to us talk about anything that comes up in every area of our lives, at any given time.

We must remember to seek him by sharing our thoughts, needs, and concerns with him through prayer.  The more we practice acknowledging his presence, the more we begin to gain the intimacy with God that we so desperately desire and need.

Thanks be to God!

"Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching." Proverbs 1:8

Our youngest son, Elijah, is the master of prolonging our family's nightly process of going to bed.   In his nine years, we have heard a litany of reasons; tummy-aches, hungry, bad dreams, spiders, the clown from 'IT' to simply just needing to go to the bathroom for the hundredth time. The other night, around 10:30 PM,  I heard footsteps in the upstairs hallway. When I finally went to check on the situation, I caught Elijah sitting down on the stairwell playing with some of his toys.  He was somewhat embarrassed that I caught him sneaking around after we had put him to bed for the night, so I sat down on the stairwell and just talked with him.  When asked what he was still doing up, He simply replied, “Daddy, I am not tired.”  In a calm manner, I suggested that he get back into bed so that Mommy didn't hear him and he finally fell asleep a few moments later.    

Just like any child has trouble understanding the importance of a good night’s rest, we too are in constant battle with God for control over our lives.  And being a loving parent, God is always communicating with us and for us to hear what He is trying to tell us, we must seek Him above all else in our lives.

You see, anything we pursue without talking to God about first, will most likely be in vein.  We must allow the Light of His Presence shine on all of our pursuits so that we can receive His help for the plans He has made for us or allow Him to change the desires of our hearts.

If we seek Him first and foremost, the rest of our lives will fall into place!
