Daily Bible Reading:

Matthew 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

*** *** ***

Our human nature longs for God. We need to know Him. However all too often we are content to seek no further than our needs. We seek Him for what He can give, rather than for who He is. We go to Church, hear His word, read a short chapter from the Bible, and say a prayer before the end of the day, thanking Him as we leave our future requests. There is so much more to God than what we seek. We seek for things, answers, etc. If we will in earnest, seek God with all our hearts, being eager to obey, we will discover more than we could ever imagine. He takes pleasure in those who seek Him laying aside the comfort of their own souls, and simply allowing Him to be their heart's desire.

*** *** ***

Prayer

We seek Your face Lord. You are our heart's desire. Forgive us for being content to simply stand at the door, instead of walking through. We desire to be in Your presence. Help us to lay aside our own desires, and seek Yours. In Jesus name we ask. Amen.
