SEEK GOD FIRST!

 

 

 

 

(Isa. 55:6) "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near."

(Hosea 10:12b)  "For it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain

righteousness upon you."

(Prov. 8:17b)"Those that seek me early shall find me."

(Matt. 6:33) "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Seek: "to go to"; "to look for" or "to search for".

 

          There are so many people today who are seeking for various things: Riches, fortune, fame, happiness, fulfillment, a better way of life, contentment, joy, peace, good health, better jobs, better housing, better transportation, and so on. Self-inventory check: How many of us are truly seeking the Lord and the things of God? We can gain and find all of these things listed above but will they really bring us to a place of satisfaction without God?

           With Him, you have everything! Without Him, you have nothing. God wants us to have everything we need but He wants us to seek Him first. All the things we possess here on this earth will eventually fade away. The things of God are eternal. Let's not let Him be our last resort when we are desperate or have found out that we couldn't succeed without him after all else fails. Seek Him first and seek Him early and you will find Him. The one person who people pushes away is the one person they need the most - God! You will find what you need in your prayer time, your Word-study time, your quiet time with Him and your daily devotion and commitment to Him.

           Ask of Him and seek after His righteousness and watch your life become more meaningful and purpose-driven! You need something? Seek God!
