Seeking God

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Mathew 6:33, New King James Version)

Seeking God. What does it mean? To seek means to pursue, to look for, to go after with much furver. So many times, we seek all the wrong things. So many people spend their time seek after wealth and fame. They want the riches this world can offer. Ladies, I've got some bad news. This world doesn't offer us eternal riches. It offers us things that will eventually waste away. In this new year, will we seek after God with all our heart? If we will seek Him first, all the other things will be added. I want to encourage us all to seek after God with our whole heart this year. Let run head-first into the plans He has for each of us. Will it take us out of our comfort zone? Yes, perhaps. When we go after what He has for us in all of its fullness, wow! The blessings and rewards will be astounding!

Father, let each of us seek you with all of our heart today. Take us to new places in You. Take us to places we never dreamed possible. Lord, give us a heart to want to seek You because the more we seek You, the more we find You! In Jesus name, Amen.

  7. Loved this Jamie. It seems that the Lord is calling each of us to seek Him more - to return to our first love and to immerse ourselves in Him. Love you sweet lady.
