Seek him


I love the song ‘The More I Seek You’ by Kari Jobe. 


The opening lyrics say, “The more I seek you, the more I find you; the more I find you, the more I love you.” 


God is a good, perfect, and faithful Father and we always have His undivided attention. He is always ready to meet with us when we seek Him out because He loves us; he is attentive, and desires to meet our needs. 


Matthew 7:7 says “Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.” 


When we draw near to the Lord, we can’t help but come away different. The word is alive and the change it elicits is radical in its subtlety. We exchange our old ways of thinking for God’s truth and let it take root in our hearts. 


Romans 12:2 says “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” 


Changing our minds aligns our desires with His will and forms us into the ideal instruments for His work. How do we know if it’s working? Nothing exposes the posture of the heart like external pressure. What pours out of you when you are pressed? 


Luke 6:45 says “The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.” 


I want to encourage you: continue to seek, continue to find, and continue to renew your mind letting the living water carve a new path through your heart. 


Philippians 4:8 says “Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
