Good Morning Friends!
I hope everyone is doing well and I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I cannot believe that I will be going back to work in just a few more days so I am taking advantage of resting and cherishing my extra time with the Lord. I have a new blog post for you today about seeking God's face with your whole heart. What does this truly mean and how can we start doing this? My friends, I must tell you that I love the Lord, there are some days when I can feel the warmth of His embrace all around me and then there are days where I can't feel Him at all. You see our flesh operates off of feelings, but the God's word says walk by faith. This simply means that even when you can't feel Him near you, that doesn't mean He has left you. No, the Bible tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. This is a promise to let us know that sometimes, we can feel Him near to us and then other times we cannot. Seeking after God is such a delight and we are to do it every day. So if you want to find out more about how to seek after the Lord, keep reading! Before we begin, I hope you have your cup of coffee or tea with you?
I remember so clearly when I first started seeking the Lord, I didn't realize it at first, but it changed my life. I talked differently, I thought differently, and I acted differently. I had such a peace that I couldn't explain and I enjoyed the changes that were happening in my life. My family and those that knew me saw the changes too. Some were happy for me and then others were jealous. Little did they know, they could have the same transformation because God has no favorites. Romans 2:11 You may be asking what were you doing that was causing this transformation? I was reading my Bible every day and I couldn't put it down. I had found a well of living water and I couldn't stop drinking. Now when I read my Bible, I read it out loud because I understand it better and as I read each scripture, I meditate on every word. I literally roll it over and over in my mind. Also I would receive revelation by reading the Bible and things began to click! It wasn't long before I started speaking the scriptures of what I was reading. As I said, a transformation started happening in my life.
Things became clearer and I was calm and I had a gentle spirit (I am going to write a blog post about having a gentle spirit soon). Little did I know that God was overflowing me with His word and it was getting down on the inside and it was reflecting on the outside. I started singing, I would literally burst in song. I couldn't help it, it would come out of me. You may be saying to yourself, "So, what does this have to do with me and why do I need to seek His face?" I will tell you why, the same transformation that was taking place in me will happen to you. By reading His word every day and spending time with Him alone, God will start changing you. He will change you for the better, He will make your life worth living. He will show you the everlasting life that Jesus talked about in the New Testament. It's a change that only He can do. Oh how wonderful it is to fall in love with Jesus!
Also worshipping the Lord causes you to seek His face. When you start to worship Him in Spirit and in truth, the chase is on! As I have said before, God loves the heart of a worshipper! Why, because the heart of a worshipper is fully focused on God. They don't want to stop worshipping because worship draws us closer to Him. It opens our heart to Him where He can come into our hearts and do what needs to be done. Once He gets on the inside, He will begin to flow on the outside. You will want everyone to know about Him and what He has done for you. You won't care what others think or say because you know what God has done for you. You will be so full of His love, you will begin to overflow onto others. You will be a well of living water because you have taken a drink of His water in His well. Oh friends, to seek God's face is a wonderful thing to do. He created us to seek His face, to worship Him, to cherish Him, to delight in Him.
So, friends, I hope this post has encouraged you and blessed you! I pray that you would begin seeking His face today with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your being! Come to Him today, He's waiting for you, He is wanting you to come closer and closer to Him. He may want to share with you what's on His heart today. Let His love begin to change you today and you will not regret it! May the Lord bless you and keep you. Until next time!
