SEEKING GOD
Jeremiah 10

Jeremiah 10:21, “For the shepherds have become dull-hearted, And have not sought the LORD;
Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered.” A heart that does not meditate on the word of God will become a dull heart. When meditation is in place the heart will seek after God and not become a dull heart. Prosperity is the evidence of a heart that mediates and it was clearly pointed out when the Lord was talking to Joshua. Joshua 1:7-8, “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” It is a serious business to take constant meditation as a serious business. Evidently, meditation is what will make a heart not become dull and when dullness does not have a place in the heart of man; seeking God will take its place. The heart that is constantly active in meditation will become active in experiencing prosperity. The kind of prosperity that the Lord mentioned to Joshua was an all round prosperity. An all round prosperity is the one that gives good success. The ability to observe and to do according to the word of God comes only from constant and consistent meditation on the word of God. Doing and observing the word of God is being obedient to God. It is only in obeying the word of God that seeking God inhabits. As a believer, where do you stand in seeking God? Seeking God starts from the heart and when the heart is dull, nothing becomes bright in walking before God.  The Psalmist stated that, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). The secret place of God is no longer a secret to those that know to seek Him in the pages of His word that never fails. Spending time and holding on to the word of God in meditation brings about prosperity that leads to good success. This is a secret to those that are yet to discover it in the pages of the Bible. God cannot be mocked and neither can He be manipulated and whatever is sowed is what you will reap. Sow by investing time in meditation and your heart will be active and not dull.

Prayer for today: O Lord my God and my King I ask for the grace of enablement to be constant and consistent meditating on your word.
