Seek and You Will Find

Jeremiah 33:3
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
These verses are some of the greatest promises in the Bible. The opportunity to be able to know the King in a real way, an intimate way is so great. That if we look for the King of the Universe, we will find Him. Do we understand what this means? Really? We have the ability and privilege to know the One who created us, who is above everything, who holds the universe in His hands, who came and lived a perfect life, died a horrific death to redeem us, rose again, and He will reign for all eternity. WE CAN KNOW THIS GOD. We boast that as Christians, we can know our Creator in a real relationship, but how many of us really take advantage of this? How many of us actually seek God with all of our heart, soul, mind, strength, energy, OUR LIFE? Christian, as a follower of God should you not passionately seek the one you follow? Should you not know the King of your life? Should you not love your redeemer who saved you from an eternity of punishment? I pray that we all look at this and feel conviction, because none of us are where we need to be. We are perfect, we make mistakes, but we all need to grow, we all need to seek Him more. Family, are we seeking God with all of our heart? Are we hitting our knees in prayer, crying out to Him, seeking His face? We can talk with Him at any time, but so often we never truly take Him up on this offer? He desires to talk to you, HE WANTS TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU. Family, maybe the reason why life is so tough, it has such a tiring effect on us, why it never makes sense, never has certainty, why it destroys us, why sin has such a power over us, all this can be because we don’t seek God with our everything, we hold onto that sin, we put that passion above God. Why do we not just simply seek Him with our everything? We discussed faith earlier and how it is a full commitment to give Him everything in our life, to fully trust that He is God and has control over our lives. Do we have faith like this? Why not? What is holding us back from that faith? What is it that controls our life? What has power over us? Think about this and pray about it family. This is so important to do. WE MUST BE A PEOPLE THAT SEEKS THE KING WITH ALL WE ARE.

Think about this family, what do you seek more, God or sin/ yourself? We go days without God, but can’t go a day without sin. This NEEDS TO CHANGE!
I pray that God completely impacts the core of our life today on from this passionate seeking of Him.
Blessings family
