what we seek

 


Isaiah 55:6  NASB

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


Seeking nothing or seeking the wrong thing has become far too common.  The wrong thing and nothing will get you to the wrong and no where.  

 

That is why we need to … Get up.  Take a look.  Ask the questions.  Then do it all again.  All the while seeking God.

 

Seeking the right thing, or the right person, is always right and needed.  Step a little further … Seek your purpose.  Seek to serve others.  This will help you find your purpose in life.  Live a life that matters and make a difference.

 

It all comes from what we seek.  That is why we have to seek God first.

 

Matthew 6:33  NASB

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.

 

1 Chronicles 16:11  NASB

Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.

 

Seek God.  Seek His Kingdom.  Seek His strength and not your own.

 

Life is hard.  That is why what we seek matters.  


Self or savior?  Pride or humility?  Surviving or thriving?  Getting by or living with purpose?  Not making a difference or making a difference?

 

Seek God.  Start there.  Don’t stop.

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....
