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 from the perilous pestilence.” As a believer, not an unbeliever, it is a secret to seek God by dwelling and abiding in Almighty God.
Seeking God diligently to find God is serving God. Serving God is living life for God.
Seek God is following righteousness as pointed in Isaiah 51:1, “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the Lord…” With today’s world of wickedness, it is wise for one to listen and to give self to God’s word. One that 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.”
Seeking God diligently is serving Him. Serving God is also following Him with no hidden agenda because He knows all man. Word of God demands and declare 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 for finding Him, He would not have asked us to seek Him diligently. One that follows God is not possible to walk in darkness as declared by God’s word which will not lie. John 8:12 confirmed, “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 sought-after God. 1 Kings 14:8 testified, “…My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes.” Are you with the 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.
Listen, obeying God is seeking diligently to keep self in God as His treasure just as He spoke in Exodus 19:5, “Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
Seeking God with heart and soul is to disallow seeking God unpleasingly.
Seek God diligently is fulfilling God’s required condition to see God.
Keeping God’s command is not chasing after world activities.
Keep God’s word to do as commanded in God’s word and to live life for God’s glory.
