Seeking the Lord

Scripture: Psalm 105:1-4



Where does God fit in your life? Is He first and foremost in your thinking, or is He an afterthought? Many people pursue wealth, popularity, security, or whatever else they think can bring them peace. They forget not only that God will provide all they need, but also that He does so more abundantly than they could imagine.



As Christians, we are meant to continually seek the Lord and His will for our lives. If we seek Him, it shows that we desire a deeper, more intimate relationship with our heavenly Father. Salvation is just the beginning, and as we learn, our desire to understand Him should only continue grow. That is the wonder of getting to know our unfathomable God.



The Christian life is more than trusting Jesus Christ as Savior, joining a church, and getting baptized. The Christian life is about having a serious Relationship with the God who created us, has power over all things, and has made awesome promises to His children. This is why we are to seek Him first; everything else remains secondary.



Unbelievers need to seek God because:

Iniquities will hide His face from them (Isa. 59:1-2). Those content to live with Sin are Separated from God. They may offer prayers to Him when disaster strikes, but He won�t hear.





They will be exposed to the wrath of God (Rom. 1:8). Those who turn away from the Lord and continue to practice things that displease Him will experience discipline.



Eventually, God will give them over to a depraved mind (Rom. 1:28). A depraved mind can�t form right judgments. When people reject the Gospel time and time again, their hearts begin to harden to the point they no longer respond to God. That�s why it�s dangerous to ignore the leading of the Holy Spirit.



As believers, we should be seeking God because He is certainly seeking us. He desires to sit on the throne in each of our hearts. We must listen to Him so He can bless us with His best and work His will in our lives.
