FAITH CAPSULE: How are you seeking God?
Matthew 6
In this wicked world come out of religion, give yourself to a commitment to God.
Commitment to God is seeking God diligently.
How are you seeking God?
What is the purpose of your need to seek God?
Seek God diligently is seeking God first as Matthew 6:33 records, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Seeking God is the testimony of those who love God as Proverbs 8:17 records, “I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.”
One that believes in God and knows that God is a rewarder of those who seek Him are ones that will seek God diligently as Hebrews 11:6 records, “…he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Seeking God with heart and soul is seeking God diligently to find God as Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “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.”
Seeking God diligently to find God is serving God.
Serving God is living life for God.
Living life for God will follow the word of God right.
Seeking God diligently 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 the word of God. One that is not giving ear to hear will not know God, to gain an understanding of God. 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 God.
Serving God is following God with no hidden agenda because God knows all.
Word of God demands and declare what it means to follow God in 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 us to seek Him diligently.
Above all, one that follows God is not possible to walk in darkness as declared by the word of God that is true. John 8:12 confirms, “He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
God is true. Seek God diligently to find Him.
One that seeks God diligently is the evidence of the servant of the Lord.
Serve God by living life for God to gain His promises and not be a victim of the wicked world.
Prayer for today: Ask for the hand of God to establish you in serving Him diligently.
