I chose to title my blog God Seeker because my life mission is to love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul and all my mind and in order to fulfill this mission I must seek God. Matt. 6:33 reads "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
Seek in this verse means
in order to find out by thinking or meditating. I find out about what kind of person God is by meditating on HIS Word, the Bible. Seek also means to aim or strive after. God must be my aim. Another meaning for seek is
require or
demand-to crave, demand something from someone. This reminds me of when women are pregnant and many times people will ask if you have had any particular food cravings. You know, the ice cream sundae with chocolate syrup, nuts and whipped cream that you send your husband out to get at two o'clock in the morning. Do I have that kind of craving to know God? What are some other things we crave? In all honesty, sometimes I get a craving for a new outfit, new pair of shoes, new pocketbook, etc...even when I don't need them! Again, I ask myself, is my craving for God stronger than anything else in this world? Is God my daily requirement? Do I seek Him first, before anything else? Some days I don't fare very well, but I am thankful for God's grace and patience with me. I must stay focused on HIM and HIS will for my life!!

Thank you for such wise thoughts...I too must examine my own cravings. I find this is not only a "day by day" but a "moment by moment" issue that I am faced with. Thank goodness for the precious Grace of our Lord to cover those moments that I fail so miserably!!

Wow! Thanks for introducing me to your blog! And I am going to read this entry again...you said some things I have been asking myself lately too...and I have not fared well on the loving God over a new pair of shoes or outfit at all....sad to say.
I love to hear how you are continuing to grow and seek Him...
I am really blessed to hear your wisdom and insight.
