Seek!

This week started off late Monday night with oreos, hot chocolate, and highlights from our break. I had a great Thanksgiving break but ten days away from everyone here at Link was way too long!

Shay Robbins spoke on intimacy with God and the importance of seeking Him. We often ask where is God, and why aren’t we experiencing the power of God? We are distracted, selfish, sinful people who are too lazy too seek God. Man can always try to run and hide but God is ALWAYS there. However, we have to actively seek Him. We did a word study (this is where you look up all the verses in the Bible having to do with a word) on seek and I learned so much! These are just a few of the things I learned about seeking God.

·      God rewards those who fear

·      You will find answers – Jeremiah 33:3

·      Rain righteousness upon you- Hosea 10:12

·      Blessed – Psalm 119:11

·      Rejoice- 1 Chronicles 16:10

·      We will be loved and Jesus will disclose himself

·      Seek and you will find- Matthew 7:7

“But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”- Matthew 6:33

We are called to seek God! But we have to seek Him, we can’t just wait around and not do anything. Matthew 6:33 commands us to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God. I love Psalm 27:4 “One thing I have asked of the Lord, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all of the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple.” I think this verse is just a great prayer because it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of this world, but we have discipline ourselves and make time to seek God daily through the good and the bad. If we want to have intimacy with God we have to grow our relationship by seeking him. He will show us answers and bless us we just have to be active!
