Seeking God Today

Day 13- Seeking God Today

Jer 29:12-13

And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

It is important that we realise and maximise the blessings that this season of favour has brought us. God is the founder of seasons and times and according to his Word, he has set a table before us, right in front of our enemies. We have been called to enjoy the benefits and blessings found in a relationship with God and we can only do so when we live, talk and move according to His instructions.

First of all, God has asked us to call on him. Many times, we do all other things, except calling on God. We talk about our problems to others, we grumble and murmur about our experiences but we don't call or talk to God about them. How does God intervene in a matter you are still in complete control of? How does God step into a situation you have not stepped out of?  Until we learn absolute surrender, we may not enjoy the blessings and benefits of this season that God has called us into.

Secondly, God promises that he will hear and answer. He is a faithful God and he does not lie, so whatever he says he can do, he will definitely do. All we have to do is trust him absolutely by taking the problems to him and leaving them there with him. Let him do the sorting, while we do the trusting; at the end of the day, we will keep doing the praising while God continues to take glory through our testifying.

Please note, you must seek God with all your heart. God does not do halfhearted devotion; you either give God all or nothing at all. The instruction is to seek God with all our heart, the promise is that we will find him as we seek ,and he will hear and answer us. For a person who has learnt absolute dependence on God, he or she knows that God's answers may not always line up with our own desires, but we are assured that his answers are the best for us, and will work towards his praise and our blessings. His time of favour is here.

PRAYER- Lord, may I learn how to trust in you completely, and to talk to you in prayer about all the issues of my life. You have promised to hear and answer and I know that your perfect will for my life shall be done. Amen.
