You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13, ESV
“When I have time …”
“After I do this …”
“I have so many other obligations …”
We wonder why we do not see God … when we refuse to make seeking Him a priority.
Make time for God every day.
My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:9, ESV
When God ordains calamity and strife, the wise see His reproof and grow closer to Him. It is easy to grow complacent amidst blessing.
Seek God continuously.
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
3 John 1:2, ESV
This is no prosperity gospel teaching. It is a prayer that as we pursue Christ we remain or get healthy, but not a guarantee. That only comes at the resurrection.
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Jeremiah 33:3, ESV
Do not merely test God. He says to earnestly seek Him, and, when you call to Him in faith believing Jesus is His Son who died for you, He will answer in ways you do not know.
Walk with Him. Talk with Him.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33, ESV
We have no guarantee we will get everything we need in this life. Jesus promises us that if we seek His righteousness (realize the truth of Christ and obey Him), our ultimate needs are met, i.e. forgiveness of sin and eternal life.
But God also likes taking care of us in this life!
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.
Proverbs 21:21, ESV
Love of God and love of others. This is God’s expectation of everyone. Pursuing God will lead to Christ, our righteousness. His kindness should push us to show the same loving kindness to others.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
Matthew 5:4, ESV
Foremost, we mourn our sin and rebellion against God, then we will be blessed with the comfort of our Savior.
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.
Zephaniah 2:3, ESV
Only those who can admit they need a Savior and can follow His commands will be saved from the coming judgment. Only in this life is possible to turn and be cleaned.
One thing I have asked from the Lord , that I shall 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 meditate in His temple.
Psalm 27:4, NASB
Our passion in life should be to see God enthroned in majesty. That only will happen when we get to hear “Well done.”
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:1, NASB
All of our power and worth comes from who Christ is: the Son of God, perfect and blameless, who died for our salvation.
Turn to Him in every moment of every day.
