“Set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God.” I Chronicles 22:19
On the last post I challenged you to listen to a talk by Jon Courson…did you do it? I hope so! It is valuable both for the single and the married. Someday you will most likely counsel someone wanting to get married and the information he gives is worthwhile.
Today my challenge is: What are you seeking with your heart and your soul? Do you seek the Lord Jesus each day by praying and reading His Word or are you too busy to seek Him?
What is at the center of your life? Is it you and your desires or the plan the Lord has for you? I have to admit that many days I want what I want and loose out on eternal benefit to myself and to others by seeking my way.
Won’t you start each day with prayer thanking the Lord for who He is, then for what He has done and then requesting from Him help with your needs and the needs of others? It will be a refreshing way to start. Then move forward in your day following His leading in your life.
Don't forget to read a portion of the Word. Once a friend told me they read until there was something that struck their heart….something they could take with them during the day and mediate on. It was good advice. Sometimes we have only a few minutes, but often that is all it takes to find a bit of joy to hold on to.
Enjoy your day….start with the Lord Jesus!
