Seeking the Lord

“Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—they do no wrong but follow his ways.”- Psalm 119:2-3

            What does it mean to seek God with all your heart? The Psalmist is not speaking of something that takes place externally. He is speaking of an obedience that comes from the deepest of faith in our Lord. When we speak of the heart, we are involving our intellect, our will and our emotions. It is in a manner of speaking an act of worship by our whole being. We would be doing what is expected of us … to keep God’s statutes and walk in His ways. To not do so as a follower of Christ would make our life a foolish endeavor; a colossal waste of our time. Christ didn’t die for us to play church. He also didn’t die for us to limply drag ourselves thru life in defeat. To seek Him brings a positive disposition, along with peace and joy in our hearts.

                  We live in perilous times, but we must never forget that God is still and always will be in full control.

There is a reason that all the evil is being unleashed upon us. God is allowing it for it is all part of His grand plan. We have nothing to fear if we are seeking Him with all our heart and living a life that is pleasing to Him. Regardless of what happens to any of us, God knows what He’s doing. It’s time to take an unwavering stand for the Lord. We need to raise up our voices in prayer and praise for the end may be nearer than we think, and only God and His children will be left standing in the end. Lord, we bless and praise your name for you are worthy of all praise, glory and honor. Amen. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing.
