Remember as children we would play hide go
seek? As a child in Sunnyvale, California I remember on the
hot summer nights, all the kids getting together and playing
this game. When it was my turn to close my eyes and count,
I would be so excited as it came close to saying, “ready
or not here I come.” Then all the expectation and fears
in finding my friends set in. Yes, those days are long gone
but this reminds me of when I seek the Lord in his Word.
Yes, I pray, start reading and with expectations
ask him to show me what it all means. Then the fear comes
in. No not fear of what he will do to me but the revelation
he shows me that says I have to make some adjustments. It
is not easy giving up self, do you agree? But in seeking God
and his righteousness there is no room for self.
Ephesians 5:18 “Be not
drunk with wine in excess, but be ye filled with the spirit.”
It is more important to allow God to fill
me with him then to fill myself with the world and its ways.
If you’re like me you desire God to fill you up with
him so your fleshly nature doesn’t creep out of you.
So I challenge you to claim and live Ephesians 5:18
“When thou saidist,
Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord,
will I seek.” Psalm 27:8
You and I can commit to seeking the Lord and
his directions for our lives each and every day of our lives.
Seek his face and let him guide you daily.
“O God thou art my God;
early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh
longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water
is;” Psalm 63:1
Set a time in seeking the Lord daily. Let
him fill you will living water that will flow in your life
throughout your day. What a blessing God bestows on us who
seek him in all things.
“If ye then be risen
with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God.”Colossians
3:1
The scripture above is the question. If ye
are in Christ, seek heavenly things from God. Keep your eyes
on the Savior so your daily life will have direction.
It is so easy to play hide go seek in the world. Seek the
Lord and stay on the road to righteousness that way you can
lead others in seeking him.
