If we truly want the Lord in our life, we need to actively pursue Him.
Seeking the Lord can become a part of our nature as we live with the everyday intent of putting God first in our lives. In the words of Charles Stanley, having a relationship with God should be “our priority and our foremost desire”. We’re on track only if “we choose to obey God, follow God, and have a daily and intimate relationship with God”. We talk with Him, listen to Him and are “eager to consult with Him at all times.”
When you sense that there’s something missing in your life, or you find strife in your relationships, or you simply long for peace and joy, you need to ask yourself if you have been truly seeking the Lord. Finding meaning in, and resolution to, difficult circumstances and experiences of your life won’t happen without deepening your relationship with the Lord. Perhaps you are seeking comfort, help, healing and restoration or you may be desiring growth, wisdom and abundant life. Jesus wants you and me to have all these things, but He wants us to always look to Him first. Putting Him first means seeking Him with your whole heart. When you seek Him, He has promised that you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13).
If you’re interested in some guidance in improving your relationship with God, I am available to talk with you about getting a start on this richly rewarding journey! “Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” (Psalm 34:10)
