Don't Just...

It's easy to get into a "comfortable" place with our faith.  A place where we believe in God, we know about God, and we talk to Him (pray) - so we must be doing OK.  But in the words of one of my favorite songs (Through the Motions by Matthew West) "just OK is not enough"! Just OK can be a place of complacency and apathy.  God wants to grow us.  To stretch us.  But we have to be willing to step beyond where we are comfortable with Him. 

So I am challenging myself - and all of you...

Don't just believe in God - Believe God!

Don't just know about God - Know God!

Don't just talk to God - Listen to God!

Seek First

Matthew 6:33

I find myself wondering...

Have I been so busy seeking God's purpose for my life that I have been missing his presence in my life?

Am I focusing more on finding His will for me than finding Him?

Perhaps the answer is in those very words of Matthew 6:33 -

"But seek FIRST His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well"

Don't seek God's will - seek GOD!

Seek to know Him better.  Get in His Word.  Commit it to memory.  Draw closer to Him.  Commit yourself to him - heart, soul, and mind.  Love Him.  And let Him love you.

Maybe then, and only then, "all these things will be given to you as well"

The purpose will be shown to you.  His will becomes clear.  The path before you made straight.
