Love & Seek
Proverbs 8:17
I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me!
Once there was a suggestion to read a Proverb a day - since there is 31 of them -you can read one once a day - there is much wisdom in the Proverbs - in today's verse - God says He loves those who love Him - but also mentions that those who seek Him early shall find Him - how do you begin your day? I have to admit I struggle to get up and once I do - often I am in a rush - this does not put me in the best of circumstances to worship the Lord - I do pray every day on my way into work - often it's a quick prayer - I want to draw closer to God - I want to seek HIM early - but often it's later - but not to get caught on this point - but rather to understand what God requires - He is the one who saves us - He is the one He made us - and He is the one to be worshipped and praised! Let's make it a point to really seek the Lord - without distractions - we must set aside time daily to spend with Him - and Him alone - too much of the time we feel we must be doing something to be useful for God - Jesus once told two ladies - Mary and Martha - that seeking Him and being at His feet was more important than working - after all we can do nothing apart from the Lord - I am finding myself doing more and more things on my own - and this is not right - I must correct this - we are really powerless without God - let's remember that we must love and seek Him daily - let's not waste a minute getting closer to God - He is all we have and all we really need - the world around us is trying to vie for our attention - let's buck the trend of this world and separate ourselves for God's purpose - I admit this will be a challenge -we have jobs - kids to get to school and bills to pay - let's just stop and seek God during our days -
He is there waiting for us - what access we have to God - let's remember that we have so much to be thankful for - I am thankful for each of you - may God bless you as you seek to love Him and seek Him early! He is waiting for you!
