Latest Lessons ( Seeking Waiting)
Latest Lessons ( Seeking Waiting)Thought I'd share some of the stuff I've been learning since I left for my PE holiday and come back...
Seeking...
Matth 6: 33 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well
* I'm seeking my purpose, seeking what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, who am i going to marry, when am I going to marry, why am I where I am, when am I going to get stronger in certain areas, why am I working in IT, why do I struggle to take my medication everyday, seeking, seeking, seeking....
But God says...
Seek Him first, Above seeking the other stuff, Stop seeking those answers. Seek God. His Kingdom, get busy with His things, read his word to find out what that is and means, advance his kingdom, and His Righteousness...Aah, live to please him, seek to please him, seek to be right before him, seek more of Jesus so that you can be the Righteousness of God, seek more time with him, so that His fruits can rub off, his presence, his wisdom can change you...
Seek this first... Stop asking the other questions, Answer these first!
And then when you do all the other questions/answers will be added unto you.
Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Psalm 27:4 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
and lastly my favourite
Jeremiah 29:11 -14 - For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD,
Seek Him...You will find Him when you seek him with all your heart, How can you seek him when you're running after other things...Find God and you'll find all you need and more than you could ever think of or imagine... He loves you so, Seek Him...
Waiting...
It gets even better... Waiting... Why should we wait on God... What does it mean to wait, I stopped seeking other things and seeking God, but still it seems like things aren't changing, what do I do while I don't know what the future holds... I wait. Why do I wait? What do I wait for? I suppose some of you thought waiting means waiting for God to do something that will change the situation, praising and praying but waiting for God to act, or waiting for God to give you the strength to get through but in the meantime just hanging, just waiting... At least that's what I thought but here's the secret and the one of the best things to know...
Isaiah 40:31 - But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
The secret's in the waiting, Our strength is in the waiting...
Psalm 27: 13 -14 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
Psalm 131 My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.
In Conclusion...
Psalm 27: 8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.
Let us seek God, Lets Seek his face, Lets be in His word. When we have challenges we have a choice are we going to stare at our problems, overanylize it, get scared, get sulky or are we going to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord, are we going to Seek his face are we going to FIRST seek His kingdom and His righteousness, are we going to seek HIM and find Him because He will be found by us when we seek him with all our heart... That is the choice we have, and as we choose to seek Him first, let us wait on the Lord, Let us quieten our soul, let us become dependant on Him for everything even our peace... Let's not be anxious in anything (Phillipians 4) but lets wait on the Lord, and as we do that we are being renewed, we are strengthened. We don't need to wait for it to happen, it happens as we wait!
So Happy Seeking and Waiting, and May He keep revealing Himself to you and drawing you close to His heart as you seek and wait upon the Lord...
