FAITH CAPSULE: Does your heart sincerely desire to seek God?

1 Samuel 13

Desire is to express a wish to obtain.
Desire is a strong feeling that compels to attain what heart set up for.
As a believer, what do you desire?
Do you desire to be a church goer believer or to be a believer with sincere for God?
What a man desires is what man seeks after. It is not possible for man to seek after what is not man’s desire.
One that desires to live heaven on heart will seek after the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Jesus declares it, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)
The whole matter that counts and work perfect in life is to fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing, whether good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
To fear God and to keep His command is to desire to seek God. Listen to word that stated about fear of God and heart, “Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.” (1 Samuel 12:24)
Does your heart sincerely desire to seek God?
Do you question yourself if you are serving God in truth with all your heart?
God has done so great and He is doing greater things that man should have desire of God with heart.
God only see and moves by the act rooted in the heart. God once corrected Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) Without doubt, David’s heart is what God saw when His word declared, “…The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people” (1 Samuel 13:14) God sought David and saw that his heart desires for His name.
What do you desire?
Evidently, desire for God must be in place in man’s life not only in the mouth of word. When man desires for God, God will deposit the grace to desire Him. In life, desire, devote and seek God with your heart.
King David knows what is best to desire when he stated, “One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
As an acclaimed believer, think if you sincerely desire of the Lord.
