WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING AFTER?
I don’t know anyone that isn’t busy. It seems like we just stay that way. We are busy with Church, busy with housework, busy with our jobs or school. Ministry can keep a person busy too.
Then there are those that are on the internet and Facebook all day long. Often our minds become cloudy, and confusion takes over. We live in a fast-paced world. We can find answers fast through google search. It seems everything is at our fingertips. Yet, with all this, we have very little customer service at stores, and very little interaction with people. Personal quality time is rare when we shop. Our lives become like a snowball going down a hill getting bigger and bigger and faster and faster. We wait for God to “move” in our lives, and bring gifting, and healings and finances to us. Yet are we doing what the He tells us to do?
We must seek him first before these things come. We must put aside every distraction and spend time reading His Word and listening to Holy Spirit. That has to be first in our lives before anything else my friends if the “things” we need are to come to us. Maybe the reason things aren’t happening in our lives is because we aren’t seeking Him first.
I have had to examine my heart and realize that I have put some little things before Him. I have had to repent. What about you? Are you in that same place? Are you seeking Him daily with your whole heart? There are rewards for those that diligently seek Him, yet we must not seek Him for the rewards. I want to be close to my Lord because I love Him. I want to hear His voice before the voice of the world and all of its distractions. Is it easy to do this when we have not made it a priority? NO! it isn’t. But this is the only way—He has to be first.
Don’t put God on the back burner of your life and expect Him to only be a sugar Daddy, calling on Him only when you need something. He is worthy of so much more. Examine your heart, and see if you have missed it somewhere, and get back on the right track. You will be glad that you did!
Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
