Like roses need the rain to thrive we human beings also need our Maker.
We are created in the image and likeness of God, seeking the knowledge of Him allows us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the purpose of our existence.". The word in Proverbs 19: 21 reads as follows “ Many plans are in a man’s mind, But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand ( be carried out) ( AMPversion). Wisdom says that instead of making uncertain plans, you should seek the one whose purpose is guaranteed to be fulfilled. When you seek Him, He promises that you will find Him, and He will then reveal His purpose for your life.
Jeremiah 29:12” Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity.” In this scripture God promises us His deliverance( bring us back from our captivity) when we seek Him.
BENEFITS OF SEEKING GOD
Psalm 34:10 “ The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. When we seek God, He comes in His totality, His face and His hands. He is a good Father who comes bearing good gifts.
Hebrews 11:6 “ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” God promises to reward those who seek Him. The nature of the reward is not specified, as our Heavenly Father provides different and unique rewards for each of His children according to their unique destinies and seasons of life. My reward may differ from yours because, as a Father, He knows our current needs better than we do.
Proverbs 28:5 “ Evil man do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand all.” The word in Proverbs 2:6 says “For the Lord gives wisdom, From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” The understanding we need to relate with others and to refrain from judging each other wrongly and painfully is found in GOD. King Solomon asked GOD for an understanding heart so that he can judge the people of God, and be able to discern between good and evil.( 1Kings 3: 9)
Amos 5:4 “ For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “ Seek Me and live;” Jesus is the bread of life. He is our way, our truth and our life. When we believe in Him we are given eternal life. Meaning the life we now live here on earth does not come to an end, it only crosses over to another realm. Seeking GOD gives us more life that overcomes sicknesses & diseases
Seek Him, His reward will surprise you!!! You will hunger for more of Him.
Yours in Christ
