FAITH CAPSULE: Without a doubt, seeking God is to find Him.
Deuteronomy 4
There is a standard of God to seek and find God but not as the world seeks Him.
One seeking God as he pleases self will not please God and not find God.
Hebrews 11:6 testifies, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
How are you seeking God to find Him?
There is a request standard of God to find God.
Deuteronomy 4:29 states seeking God diligently: “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
The purpose of seeking God is to find God, evidence of wanting to please God, living life for God (to exist for Him), and experiencing the manifestation of expectation.
When you seek God, put all aside to seek Him diligently to find Him first, and will provoke Him to give you all things beyond your expectation.
Matthew 6:33 encourages all, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Seeking God with diligence is the key to FINDING God, and praying with understanding to gain knowledge.
Praying with understanding is watching and praying. (Jesus admonishes about watching and praying)
Psalm 47:7 informs all to praise with understanding, evidence of seeking God with understanding to find Him.
WITH PRAYER, to find God without watching is not complete to experience the manifestation of God.
WATCH AND PRAY.
WATCHING AGAINST DOING WRONG IN THE PLACE TO DO RIGHT.
WATCHING AGAINST DOING WRONG IN THE PLACE TO DO RIGHT is the case of the untimely death of Uzzah.
2 Samuel 6:6-7 record the case of Uzzah: “And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.”
WATCHING IS WAITING ON GOD IN EVERY DECISION-MAKING.
WATCHING IS WAITING ON GOD IN EVERY DECISION, as David did by walking and not running in the place to walk.
Isaiah 40:31 records, “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.”
David testifies, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)
Watching and Praying is to find God.
Seeking God with diligence is the character of watching and praying, the evidence of one with wisdom and knowledge not to become a victim of the wicked world.
Isaiah 33:6 admonishes, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled, seeking God diligently.
