Seeking After God

S. My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. (Proverbs 2: 1-8, ESV)

O. Here is the bottom line for me today from these words from God. I MUST be a follower...I MUST seek after God with all my heart...I MUST never be content in my spiritual state and in my level of understanding...I MUST continually seek a relationship with my God. There should never had a time in my life where I am content in my understanding of God and God's plan for my life. There will always be room to grow in my faith. Like anything else in my life, If I want to grow and move forward, I have to work at it. This has been so true in my running. I have had to make this a priority in my life...getting up early to run or go to the gym...making it part of my normal routine. The same is true for my spiritual growth. I must make it a part of my normal routine each day...If I want to grow, and I do, then seeking after God will be a major priority.

A. I know that there is so much more that I need to understand about God. I know that I have not reached a point in my Christian life where I know everything there is to know about my relationship with God. So, I must make my time in the Word of God and my availability in prayer a major priority in life. I will devote myself in the days ahead to being a student of God's Word...seeking knowledge and understanding from reading my Bible and through times of prayer with my God.

P. Lord, I seek after your face and I seek an understanding of your will for my life. Give me spiritual insight that I might be more like you. I offer my life to You today and everyday, that I might be more like you. Amen.
