The Lord tells us in His Word that when we seek Him, we will find Him (1 Chronicles 28:9; Jeremiah 29:13). But have you ever thought about what is actually involved in seeking God? It is not a matter of just attending church or following a certain religious tradition.
Seeking God is a matter of the heart. This one activity leads you to a cross over being a "churchgoer" to becoming a follower of "the way of Christ." You seek Him, not in a mysterious mythical sense, but through intimate devotion. In your seeking, you thirst after God much like the psalmist who wrote:"As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God" (Ps.42:1) A longing to your seeking ushers you into the presence of God where you experience the fullness of His love and undivided care for your soul.
God desires your love and devotion. By itself, memorizing amounts of Scripture will not draw you closer to Him. What grabs God's heart is the humble, abiding love of someone who seeks Him above everything else. (In Touch Devotional)
Prayer: Give me a heart to seek You above all else, Lord. I want to experience Your presence on an intimate level.
