GOD SEEKERS

Matthew 6:30-33 MSG

“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.


The Lord has a care package for everyone. It depends on our needs and includes everything we need spiritually, physically, materially, and in every other way. The Lord never leaves anything to chance, especially the care of His saints. James 1:17 says that everything we’ll ever need comes from the Lord, and they are all good and perfect.

But only for seekers. Those who fervently and desperately seek after the Lord of Hosts, and not their own pleasure, wealth, or needs, are the ones whom all of God’s blessings will chase after and run over. Psalm 23:6 says the angels of goodness and mercy will follow us, pursuing us wherever we go, always and everywhere. At the same time, the Lord will rain down all we need, as He did with the Israelites in Exodus 16.

Seeking after the Lord guarantees that we will always receive our care package, prepared before time by the Lord, waiting for the appointed time to be delivered. According to Psalm 102:13, each care package is prepared for an appointed time. There is no waste in God’s kingdom; we therefore receive what we need when we need it.

The Lord says in Matthew 6:32 that He knows what we need, and like the good Father He is, He will not give us less, more, or unfit things, as described in Matthew 7:11-12. Jeremiah 29:13 commands us to seek the Lord with all our heart, promising that we will find Him. Seeking God is a conscious effort that directs our minds and hearts toward God through prayer, His Word, and following His guidance.

As Isaiah 55:1-3 says, come and buy from the Lord without money. We can allow the Lord to give us all we need without spending effort, time, and energy chasing after things that have no worth or value. “Incline your ears and come to me,” we must lean in and listen to the Lord’s voice to direct us to wherever and whatever He’s prepared for us when we seek Him earnestly.

We neglected to seek God in every way with all our hearts, and things still didn’t work out as we planned. We spent valuable time and energy (in some cases, money) seeking things that we couldn’t find. But God tells us in Proverbs 8:17 that we’ll always find Him if we seek Him. Seeking God must be constant and deliberate, to pursue His guidance, wisdom, and empowerment always, according to Psalm 105:4, because we need God’s strength to do whatever is required of us and His face to benevolently shine on us always.

God seekers are those whom the Lord will grant full understanding of the times and seasons, according to Proverbs 28:5. It’s in seeking the Lord that we gain wisdom and guidance that helps us to discern between right and wrong and live according to God’s will. Everything outside the Lord is a shadow, and the more we chase after them, the further they get out of our reach. But when we seek the Lord, He brings our needs to us at our level, showering us with blessings, as described in Hosea 10:12.

Christ says His yoke is easy for us in Matthew 11:30, ensuring that the Holy Spirit will help and guide us in seeking the Lord in prayer, obedience, persistence, praise, and worship, within and through fellowship, in our desire for knowledge and understanding, and total surrender to His will and purpose.

God seeker, seeking the Lord should be our goal in the new year and onwards. It should and must be a continuous pursuit for spiritual growth and maturity through the intimate knowledge and relationship with the Trinity (God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Let our story not be like that of the wicked spoken of in Psalm 119:155, “Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.”

Seek the Lord with all that is within you!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for inviting me into fellowship with you, help me to seek your face always and chase after you with all my strength in Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
