Seek Him

In Psalms 27, David tells us that he is desiring to seek the Lord. He has answered God's call to seek His face. He is wanting to draw closer to God with all of his being, with all that he has. David knows that the Lord is his everything and that without God, he is nothing. It is this desire for God that our Father above wants from all of us.

Sadly, because of our human flesh, we do not want that. We let our earthly wants and desires get between us and God. We let our everyday life get in the way. We would rather do anything than to seek the very face of God. This is not what God wants. Jesus did not come to earth, clothed in human flesh, to die a painful, humiliating death for us just to accept Him and then go off on our own like nothing ever happened.

The main purpose of Jesus dying for us was to bring mankind back into that state of communion with Him. God desires us to have a fellowship, a personal relationship with Him just as Adam had with Him in the Garden of Eden. He wants to know us as one of His children and He wants us to diligently seek Him just as David is doing in Psalms 27.

Seek God's face. Get to know Him as you never have before. Put worldly things behind you and seek first the kingdom of God. Don't let the trappings of this earthly flesh come between yourself and God.
Seek the relationship with Him that you are meant to have in the first place and God will pour out His Spirit on you, your family and your church.

I want so badly for more of God in my life.  I want His presence to lead me and guide me to fulfill His plan for me.  O Father, pour your spirit out on all those who hunger and thirst for You.  Make this your prayer as well.
