our hearts are longing... for healthy relationships and closeness, for excitement, for fun and satisfaction, for success and pleasure... even for knowing Him more, for serving Him, for knowing the plan He has for our lives, our purpose.....
but rather than focusing on those longings, we are called to seek the Kingdom of God...
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands. (Psalm 90:14 +17)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ( John 1:1-5+14)
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. ( Jeremiah 29:12-14)
Seeking the Kingdom of God... He is there, He will be found... He who brought the light, He is the Word, the Word became flesh... knowing Him, seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, finding satisfaction and joy in the morning.... we need to come before Him, engage in a relationship, know Him, and since He is the Word become flesh there is such an easy way to do that...
seeking Him in the scriptures He will speak to us directly, His Spirit communicating with the Holy Spirit within us and giving us all we need, filling us up with His love, with joy, with direction, with purpose, His Spirit never giving up on us, slowly changing us and growing the fruit of the Spirit in our hearts...
there is so much to be gained by seeking Him first each day... we say He is our life, our best friend.... spending time with Him can be a delight... not a duty.... a time with the One whose unfailing love will never ever leave us....
Seek first the Kingdom of God... Seek Him in the morning, and let Him fill you with His love
