SEEK

1 Chronicles 16:11“Seek the Most High and his strength, seek his face continually.”

  seek

             attempt to find (something).

• attempt or desire to obtain or achieve (something).
• ask for (something) from someone.

   

   

  The Father tells us all through His word that we are to seek Him.  How are you seeking him?  It is an action word. Requires you to be doing something. When we are seeking a degree we dedicate time, money, and energy in completing the courses necessary to obtain our goal. When we are working toward a goal at work we put forth effort above our regular output in order to achieve extraordinary results. When we want to achieve growth in our personal lives we must do soul searching and evaluation of our choices, thoughts, and attitudes. Why is it when it comes to our eternal life that is the area where we allow ourselves to fall short or become lazy?? Because it is a spiritual battle!!!  The irony of it all is that unless you are feeding your spirit through disciplined study and prayer then every attempt at growth and finding the keys to the Kingdom will fail.

  Ecclesiasticus 4 ¹¹Wisdom exalteth her children, and layeth hold of them that seek her. ¹²He that loveth her loveth life; and they that seek to her early shall be filled with joy. ¹³He that holdeth her fast shall inherit glory; and wheresoever she entereth, the Lord will bless. ¹⁴They that serve her shall minister to the Holy One: and them that love her the Lord doth love.

  Ecclesiasticus 18:14“He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that diligently seek after his judgments.”
