There Is Only One Thing You Need To Seek

Seek means to go in search or quest of something.   To attempt or try to find something.   So my question today is .... what are you seeking?   What are you trying to find?   Are you trying to find inner peace?   Are you trying to find an answer to a problem?   Are you trying to find money?   What are you seeking?

God says to seek Him.   In Him is everything you need.   What is a need?  Need is defined as something that is necessary.   Something required.  Need also means obligation.     

So let's think about it.   If God says that He is all that you need, He is saying that He is what is necessary.   He is what is required.   He is the one that you are morally bound (obligated) to.  

We  have to get to a place where we no longer seek "stuff" or "our own way".   If we would just seek Him, we would understand that He is El Shaddai.   That He has within Him the power to meet every one of our needs.    We would understand that He is Jehovah Jireh.....our provider.    He is Jehovah Shalom....our peace.   That He is Jehovah Ropha....our healer.   

As we look at the things around us and what they consist of.....let's stop and look at God.   There is nothing lacking, missing, or broken in God.   Within God is everything we need.   He is all and all.    So when you seek today......seek God.   Don't waste time seeking other things.   Seek the one, the true, the living God who sees all, knows all, and does all.   

In seeking God....you will "have" everything else you need.

Trust God For Today.....Don't Worry About Tomorrow

I am reading a book by E M Bounds called the "Necessity of Prayer".   In the book he writes,

"As every day demands its bread, so every day demands its prayer. No amount of praying, done today, will suffice for tomorrow's praying. On the other hand, no praying for tomorrow is of any great value to us today. To-day's manna is what we need; tomorrow God will see that our needs are supplied. This is the faith which God seeks to  inspire. So leave tomorrow, with its cares, its needs, its troubles, in God's hands. There is no storing tomorrow's grace or tomorrow's praying....."

Doesn't this hit home?   We get so caught up in the problems of tomorrow, we forget to pray for God's grace today.   Trusting God to get us through this day and allowing Him to get us into tomorrow so that we can trust Him for that as well.  

God does not want us worrying about what we need to do by Friday or next week.   What we have to be begin to realize is that next weeks need is not part of our "daily" bread.    Our walk with God is moment by mmoment and not just day by day.   Everything that we do, everything that we feel, everything that we need whether it be for today, tomorrow, or next week........God knows.      And that is what we have to trust.   We have to trust and believe that God knows. and we don't have to worrry about it.  

What we have to understand is that every day is specifically designed by God.   Today is the foundation taht God is building our tomorrow on.   The foundation that he is building on today is the testimony that you will tell tomorrow. 

So allow God's grace, mercy,and faithfulness to take you through today and trust in the fact that God knows what tomorrow holds and just as he took you through yesterday and is taking  you through today.   He will take you through tomorrow.   It's just not something you need to worry about.

"One More Time"

Ministered By The Katinas

      

Total Trust & Commitment.....that's all God wants.......

What will you choose to do today?   Will you choose to get up and worship?   Will you sing praises to God or to man?   Will you speak life into others?   Will you be cast down....down trodden and discouraged?  Or will your rejoice and know that there is no god like your God?

When you stop and look at life, you understand that there is no God like your God.  You understand and see how He has protected and kept you through the hardest times in your life.   Times when you didn't know what to do or how to do it.   Times when everyone else had given up on  you and walked out on you.   God was still there.   He has shown His love to you in so many ways in the past.....what makes you think He will not show up now?    What has discouraged you into thinking that God is not enough?   What is affecting your belief?   God has told us in His word that He changes not.   He is the same yesterday (which covers your past), today (which covers your present), and forever (which covers your future).    If you understand that....then you understand that what He did for you yesterday, He will do today and the next day if necessary.    He says He will never leave us nor forsake us.    What will it take for you to understand that He is all you need?

There are two things that God needs from you.   That is that your trust Him and that you be totally committed to Him.    Total trust and total commitment......can you do that for God today considering all that He has done for you.

Breathe On Me

Ministered By Hillsong

Where Are You Getting Your Inspiration?

Inspire means to stimulate to motion by divine influence.   It means to motivate, affect or touch.   But I think the most awesome definition of inspire is "to breathe on".   

So my question today is "where are you getting your inspiration"?   Who are you allowing to breathe on you?   Who is motivating you or influencing you?   Who or what are you allowing to affect or touch  your life?

It is God's desire that He be the sole influence or motivator in your life.   What do you think motivated Jesus to do what He did?   To lay down His life and to die on a cross for us.  To give up His Godly state to take on the sins of the world.    What a powerful influence.    The influence of love.   God is love.     He allowed the breadth of life (which is God) to breathe on Him (He is God) and cause Him to make the sacrifice of life (which was His life) so that we could live (In Him).   

Everything that God has done, was done by Him, in Him, and through Him.   All He desires is that we now live for Him.    Let your inspiration come solely from God and nothing else.    In doing so you will always live and walk in the love of God and everything that you do will be blessed by Him.

Lack or Sufficiency....What Do You See?

Can you see your sufficiency .... even when it looks like lack?   Jesus asked Phillip in John 6, where should He buy food for the multitude to eat.   Phillip answered that two hundred penneyworth of bread was not sufficient.  

Jesus NEVER asked if they had enough to buy the bread......He just asked where should they buy the bread.   That is how we do God.   God tells us to do something or He places us somewhere and we consistently look at what we see as lack.   When God is just saying.....do what I told you to do and I will supply the need.   

Although Andrew's response to Jesus was that he saw a lad with five loaves of bread and two fish.   He still didn't see the supply as enough.   How many times to we look at what we have and say "it's not enough"?

We are real good at looking at life through our natural eyes  instead of eyes of faith.   We need to shift.   We need to look at the supply we have as just enough.    Jesus' response to Andrew was to make the men sit down (get everything in order) and He gave thanks for what He had.  At that point, what He had became sufficient.



So the word to  you today is to see beyond your lack and thank God for what you have.   At the point that you give thanks, God will intervene and make sure you have more than enough.   It's not about what you can get with what you have.   It's all about what God will do when you give thanks for what you have.
