keep on seeking God

Isaiah 55:6 NASB

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

That is the verse that I ended yesterday’s devotion with. It is a powerful word that reminds us to go to the one with all the power, the one who has all the answers and the one who cares the most for us.

Why would we seek the Lord? We live in a world and a society that says they have all the answers, and when they don’t have the answers, they say religion or God is never the answer. I beg to differ. Maybe you do as well. What do we believe about God.

Why seek God?

Jeremiah 33:3 NLT

Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.

Seek God because He has the answers

2 Kings 6:17 NLT

Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.

Seek God because He can open our eyes and heal sickness.

Psalm 103:7 NLT

He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.

Seek God because He reveals who He is and how good He is to those who seek Him.

Psalm 31:19 NLT

How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.

Seek God because He cares for those who fear or honor Him as well as giving them protection.

2 Corinthians 9:10 NLT

For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.

Seek God because He is the one who provides what is best, what is needed and what makes us the people He made us to be.

Just seek God. My prayer is for revival. I pray that you and I will seek God for His presence, His power and His peace as we get honest about the truth God gives us. Seek God today!

Hebrews 11:6 NLT

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

Matthew 6:33 NLT

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
