Seeking After God by yommyuk: 9:03am On Apr 18, 2015
King Hezekiah of Judah served the Lord faithfully. He was committed to righteous living and intentionally pursued that course for most of his life. He sought God devotedly, and the Lord prospered him.
God wants to be intimately connected with us, like a father and child who share deep, mutual love. Our seeking after Him should be characterized by:

WHOLEHEARTEDNESS.
When we approach God’s Word with a distracted mind or pray with our focus drifting to other topics, we have a divided heart. The Lord desires our full attention; He wants us to keep Him in first place, giving Him priority above everything else important to us (Jeremiah 29:13; Matthew 6:33).

DILIGENCE
We should have a sense of devotion to God and give careful attention to what He is saying. This requires an unwavering effort to understand how God operates and what He wants us to do.

PERSISTENCE
Seeking the Lord is to be a continual, sustained effort toward deeper intimacy and involvement in His work (Psalms 42:1).

CONFIDENCE
We need to believe that God wants us to know Him—and that He desires the best for us. Trust is an essential component of confidence (Proverbs 3:5).

HUMILITY
We are totally dependent on God for everything in life, and He is pleased when we approach Him humbly (Isaiah 66:2).

When our hearts yearn for God, He delights in revealing Himself and pouring out blessings on us (Hebrews 11:6). Make an honest assessment of how earnestly you are seeking after Him.


1 Chronicles 16:11
Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually

Hebrew 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him

Hosea 10:12
Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.


IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
