“…but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” Ps. 34:10
“O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.” Ps. 63:1
What have you done this week to seek the Lord?
What have you done in the past few days to actively, intentionally pursue God?
How’s your seeking?
I ask, perhaps, because I know from my own experience that some days, many days, my “seeking” is less about seeking than it is about just doing. I did my devotions. I prayed. I did my quiet time. I followed my routine.
Where’s the seeking in routine? Routine is good unless it’s just that…routine.
If the motivation in my routine, in my doing, is a heart of seeking, an intentional yearning to know God, an active pursuit of deeper intimate relationship, an eagerness for more of Him, a conscious pleading, a longing… then yes, routine is good.
Every moment of every day that I seek hard after God, I am NOT seeking counterfeits, fillers, and things that distract from a passionate pursuit.
How’s your seeking?
“You have said, ‘Seek my face.’ My heart says to you,’ Your face Lord, do I seek’” Ps. 27:8
May that be cry of our hearts today.
