I have two questions for you today. The first question is, what are you looking for from God? The second question is, what is God looking for from you? Many people focus on the first question. They focus on what they want and what they feel they need from God instead of asking themselves what is it that God is looking for from them. Are you a worshipper? Are you worshipping God in Spirit and in truth? Are you surrendered? Have you surrendered your heart, mind, and body to God? Our lives should not be about just what we want. Our lives belong to God and we should be continuously surrendering to the Word and the will of God.
When we think about the first question, we need to understand that the Bible says God knows the things we have need of and He is faithful and just to provide us with those things. So if God knows what we need and He is faithful and just to provide us with those things, we should do the same.
We know that God wants our attention. He wants us to be focused on Him. He wants us to watch Him, to listen to Him, and to meditate on Him and His Word. We have to careful of distractions. Distractions will come. Things will happen in an effort to redirect our attention. We have to learn how to keep our eyes stayed on God no matter what is happening in our lives.
So as you think about the two questions today, let your focus and attention be on the second question. Do what you can for God and know that He is doing what only He can do for you.
