One of the Greatest things that Ive learned in life is the ability to seek God. When I first came to an understanding of this, I asked myself "what does it mean to 'seek Him, is He Hiding'" I quickly came to realization that God is not hiding, but rather our circumstances have clouded out His Presence in our lives and The CLUTTER of Life is CLOUDING The CLARITY you need!!!
And THIS is why we MUST Seek Him..
Day in and day out our minds and hearts are filled with things we have to do, things we didn't do, meetings, schedules, opportunities, projects, and sermons that if we are not careful the cares of this world will drown out our relation to God, and consequently we find ourselves going through the motions of life without the reverence or guidance of God nor His Spirit. Its almost like we're on autopilot and we are aimlessly trucking through life trying to "make it happen", when all God asks us is to Seek Him....
Its much like you looking for your lost keys! You search EARNESTLY because the keys that you have lost are VITAL to you getting to the place you need to Go. SO you tear your house apart, thinking in your mind "Where Are they?" You may get a little agitated because you feel as though you should've been more careful! You search in the closet...not there...You look in all the drawers in the kitchen..not there...you look under the couch...not there...you look IN the couch...not there...you look all under the mail you have stacked on your counter...not there...you look EVERYWHERE...but you just cant seem to FIND your keys...when all the while they were RIGHT in your hand!
Much like this process, Seeking GOD is removing the clutter out of your heart to TRULY Hear His Voice. Seeking Him is to search through His Word to find the answer to the unrest in your soul. Seeking Him is Removing the Clutter, noise, and distractions out of your life so that you can TRULY hear with Clarity what He has been speaking to you! SEEKING HIM LAUNCHES YOU INTO A WORLD OF COMPLETE PEACE...because when You FIND Him....you'll realize He was MUCH Closer than you EVER Imagined!
So today, I want to challenge you to take your lunch hour and give your lunch money to a church, ministry, your favorite charity, or just randomly bless someone...and choose to give your lunch hour to Him...to Seek HIM, so that you can get the clarity that you need! I PROMISE you WILL NOT regret the time you give up, to seek Him earnestly!You don't really need to say much...just in your heart allow Him to speak to you!
