“Seek and You Will Find Him”
by Dona Hake
Psalm 105:4 (AMP)
“Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and
His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation);
seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore.”
Along with this scripture I would like to share with you a quote to stir your heart relative to prayer and seeking the Lord.
“No man ever prayed without learning something.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we ponder the scripture from Psalm 105:4 along with this quote we can see that as we truly seek the Lord in prayer, reading, and the hearing of His Word that there is much to be found. Even if you have read a scripture many times over, there is always freshness and newness of life that can be brought to your heart, mind and soul. The truths to be found in our Lord have endless depths, and as we pray and seek Him, He will take us into deeper revelation of the truths in His Word.
Today I want to stir your heart to think about your desire to seek Him? May we never seek a comfort zone in our walk with Him. Of course our rest and contentment is Him, but just as our bodies crave food and water each day, so our desire to draw upon Him must also be.
Today I encourage you to crave Him and His strength. Think about those things you love to eat. Sometimes it will hit me and I will start craving a particular food because I love it so much. So it should be with our love for our Lord and everything about Him! The more we seek Him the more we will find ourselves needing to seek Him more. The more you experience HIS strength and HIS ability, the more you will crave to turn your face to Him and receive all that He is! Remember that all that He is, and all that He does is brand new everyday. He desires to teach you continually and answer all the questions of your heart. Crave Him, step into His presence, and prepare yourself to learn and receive His portion for you today. God is good!
Jeremiah 33:3 (CJB)
“Call out to me,
and I will answer you —
I will tell you great things,
hidden things of which you are unaware.”
