God Seeker

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!!
