Seeking . . .

So I know I wrote a post before about seeking God, but I have even more on the topic, and from a look into the scripture I've realized it is mentioned over 100 times about seeking!

My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek. Psalm 27:8

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. Deut 4:29

"First seek the counsel of the LORD." 1 Kings 22:5

The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you
2 Chron. 15:2

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
Psalm 34:10

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1


We are to seek Him in all things so he can give us guidance, counsel, strength, comfort, joy, and so that he can dwell in us! I'm learning more and more the power that comes from truly seeking after God. How as you seek Him your view of things can change, and how when you begin to seek Him with all your heart and soul how you can truly feel Him near you. Maybe you are trying to make sense of what's going on in your current situation, and perhaps like so many of us at times you're beginning to lose hope. One of my friends has been calling me a bunch recently seeking encouragement, and seeking out how to have a better attitude about things currently going on. It occurred to me the other day that the simple fact that she was seeking good things is exactly what God wants. He desires for us to seek Him. He is right there near us, but until we seek Him will all our heart we can't truly experience all that he has for us!

6From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' " Acts 17:26-28


Not only are we to seek Him with all our hearts we are to seek after His righteousness, humility, justice, peace, and seek after the good of others.

Dear Lord,
Please help me to seek you in everything at all times. Forgive me for those times when I fail to seek you and instead go my own way. Lord thank you so much that I can trust you when you say that when I seek you I will find you! Lord, place in me the desire to thirst after you, and to seek you with all of my heart. Amen
