DAY 8

DAY 8: The Priority and Privilege of Seeking the Lord

As we saw last week, God is a good God who loves to answer our prayers. However, there is more to prayer than just asking! So, in this second week we are making the turn and moving from ‘asking’ to ‘seeking’. Above everything else, the Lord longs for us to develop a close relationship with Him, simply worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth. So, today we’re looking at the importance of SEEKING the Lord for WHO HE IS more than WHAT HE CAN DO. Let’s remind ourselves of our key scripture,“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Luke 11:9-10. Let’s make it our mission to know God more, by seeking Him diligently. “Seek and keep on seeking, and you will find…and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds.” Luke 11:9-10 (AMP). This takes discipline as well as devotion, but the prize is more than worth it. A great biblical example showing the priority and privilege of seeking the Lord is when King David said, ‘You God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you…’ Psalm 63v:1. Then, notice the privilege of ‘finding’ the Lord, ‘I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.’ Psalm 63:2-3. Just like King David, who sought the Lord and was rewarded, so can we! Take some extra time today to set aside in prayer and worship, beholding the Lord’s power and glory. Make seeking Him a priority today and write down what you sense He is saying to you, in response.
