Seeking, Lord I Long For You!

I realize that I have neglected the blog for the last few days. I've just been studying, studying, and studying! I hope you have had a wonderful week.

As I tried to figure out what to say this morning, one thing came to mind. 

 "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:13

This week has been one of the most "epic" weeks of my life. I'm still a little uncertain, but I've declared a major (finally!). I led worship (with Sarah :D) at Kingz Kidz, and I experienced a joy that once again, just sweeps me away.

Then, I began to think about all the miracles, and crazy stuff that's happened in my life. It all came about through God's mighty hand at work. But, I realized that we must fight for our faith. See we have an enemy, and as I've said before, his main goal is to steal us away from our marvelous Creator.

Honestly, seeking God has always been "hard" for me. Just ask Andrew, I have a severe and sometimes intrusive case of ADHD. I can go from God to "oh, look it's a hot air baloon" in about 3 seconds. (LOL)

So, praying for hours, it's always been hard for me. I'm one of those people who must always be moving, do something....Well, don't you know I am weak. And, we all need to just "be still" before God sometimes. And, last night I had a desperate cry for God, I just needed Him. And, this seeking was hard. Yes, I felt like I was talking to my bedroom wall, crying out to a God who is merciless and just wishes to see my agony. But, God taught me something. When we seek, we find. When we knock, He answers. When we pray, He listens. I am not a theologian, bible scholar, or in the least bit famous, but God cares. 1 Peter 5:7 declares it, and I am not one to argue with the Word of God.

Please understand this, when you feel like He doesn't hear you, when you're at rock bottom, or you hate where you are in life, just seek God. Don't worry about the problems of today, or the troubles of tomorrow, just seek Him.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you." -Matthew 6:33

When we feel torn, broken, and battered, God doesn't leave us alone. But, sometimes He just wants to be sought, and He wants you to put your trust in Him alone. When there is nothing left, we will find Him. Remember that.
So, instead of pursuing the world, pursue Jesus, He's much much better.

Go serve your King,
Jess
