Subject: What do you seek? |
Bible Note: Just an observation to share on this poignant question, "What do you seek?" As a follower of Jesus, what would your answer be to His question? Jesus already knows the desire(s) of our hearts. He knows we have needs, but the need He wants us to recognize is often overlooked. Jesus gives us instructions in Matthew 6:33 - seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. When we seek His Kingdom, we recognize His sovereignty; Jesus IS King. When we seek His righteousness, we recognize none of our own. We are dependent upon His grace. Do our hearts cry, "not my will but Thy will O LORD?" How often do we come to God looking for what is IN His hand, rather than just His hand? When we truly "delight in the LORD," He will indeed give us "the desires of our hearts." (Psalm 37:4)Those desires will be HIS desires and as a result, we will seek His Kingdom and His righteousness FIRST. May we go about our day remembering that apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. (John 15:5) |
