FAITH CAPSULE: Seek God diligently in His way to find Him.
Isaiah 51
Living life is to seek God diligently.
Matthew 6:33 states, “…But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
In this wicked world, seek God by serving God to dwell and abide in God.
Psalm 91:1-3 buttressed, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Highest Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely, He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and the perilous pestilence.”
Seek God diligently in His way to find Him.
Serving God is living life for God.
Seek God diligently by following righteousness.
Isaiah 51:1 states, “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the Lord…”
The world of wickedness demands giving oneself to the word of God.
One who is not giving ear to hear will not gain an understanding of Him. Jeremiah 16:12 testified, “Each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart so that no one listens to Me.”
Seek God diligently by serving Him.
Serving God is following Him with no hidden agenda because He knows all man. The word of God demands and declares what it means to follow Him.
John 12:26, “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”
Give self to seeking God diligently to find God.
Believe and know that if it is not possible to seek God diligently to find Him, He would not have asked all to seek Him diligently.
One that follows God cannot walk in darkness John 8:12 records, “He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
God is true.
Seek God diligently to find Him.
David was a man like us and a sought-after God.
1 Kings 14:8 testifies, “…My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes.”
Is it your desire to seek God diligently, following His righteousness in His word?
Unchanging changer God, yesterday, today, and forever once warned against not seeking to follow Him in 1 Kings 9:6-7, “But if you or your sons at all turn from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight. Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.”
Think and search who or what you have set before your way of living life outside of living life, following God.
Prayer for today:Ask God to move you to seek Him diligently in the life He has given you.
