Seek and You Shall Find - Jane H. Young

Seek is a word you don’t hear very often these days. It means “to crave, pursue, and go after something with all of your might.” Many people want a greater relationship with God, but they don’t crave and pursue Him, aren’t willing to put  away other things in order to have Him in their lives. Seeking the Lord meansseeking his presence. 

“and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 NASB

God has said to seek him and turn. Turn from what, our wicked ways. Then He will hear us, we as a nation need to turn from our ways and turn back to God. If ever our land (nation) needed healing it is now.

What are we doing that is so important that we have pushed God aside, made him an after thought in our lives and stopped seeking Him. Most of us have more time with all the staying in these days but we are so busy with iPads, lap tops, or tv to seek God.  

God said he would never leave us or forsake us, it is us who leave until sometime goes wrong, then all of a sudden we find time to cry out to Him. [Oh God where are you when I need you.]  Really!!! God is loving and always there when we need Him, but just like us He would love to spend time with His children just because we love Him, not only when we need something. 

“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”  Jeremiah 29:13 NASB

Prayer:  Lord forgive me, I have allowed my own selfish ways to overtake my life. I pray as I seek your presence  you will show me clearly your plan for my life and help me to fulfill it.

Jane has a heart for serving God and making a difference in the lives of others.
