#Seek God

[ae-cha08]

[thewordfortheday]

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’...But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Matthew 6: 31&33

How often we push our Bible reading and prayer to the end of the day. We hurriedly read a verse or two, say a prayer and plop into bed. We hardly have the energy or even the concentration to understand His word. It's no wonder that we feel stressed and drained even before it's midday. 

The Bible urges us to seek the things of God first, His kingdom and His righteousness. The verse doesn't mean, Jesus will immediately make us rich or influential. It means, when you seek His kingdom first, He will be faithful to provide strength, wisdom for the day and all that you require, just at the right time, and you will surely glorify His name.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭16:5‭-‬10‬ ‭(NIV).‬‬ “So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers. Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.”

“Confronting a Closed Door” By In Touch Ministries:

“When God closes a door, He will always open a better one.”

“Have you ever faced a closed door? It’s extremely frustrating, right? The apostle Paul knew exactly how that felt. On his second missionary journey, he repeatedly found the way blocked by the Holy Spirit. Eventually the apostle arrived in Troas with nothing but the sea in front of him and closed doors behind.

It must have seemed strange to Paul that God would prevent him from spreading the gospel. But instead of getting angry or trying to force his way into new territory, Paul waited for the Lord’s direction. The Bible doesn’t tell us how long he and Timothy lingered in Troas, but the apostle didn’t move until the Lord revealed the entrance to a new mission field.

If you’re in a period of waiting, try doing what Paul did. Look at your situation as a chance to seek God’s purpose and guidance. Ask the Lord why He has barred the way forward—perhaps the timing is wrong or there’s some unconfessed sin to deal with. Whatever the reason, it’s important to be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading—and to be ready for the door that will open.

When an opportunity is blocked, God has a reason. He is providing love and protection, even when we don’t see it. And He’s keeping His promise to work everything for our good (Romans 8:28).”

Matthew 5:8 Reflection on Purity

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8

"Pure" in my little understanding connotes that the intention of such blessed people is to SEEK God with pure intentions of seeking HIM for HIMSELF, not just for our needs, wants and desires. Such blessed people shall seek God and God's promise is that they WILL find Him! Praise God!!!

How do you think would one go about “doing the tango” with Brook? Would he use one of his bones? Something else? (Asking for a friend)

Go to bed.

100% in agreement!!! These tools and practices are what God hates, but never the people themselves. I understand the Enneagram is controversial, but like Meyers & Briggs personality test….it can easily feed into our human desire to be in control. The same goes with horoscopes & tarot cards, humans naturally fear the unknown, including the humanly unknown future. So we’ve created and use these things which is actually tricking ourselves that we can be in-control. That “security” is an illusion. True security and wisdom comes solely from God. Seek and Ask Him, He will answer you.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own (human) understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

‭‭- Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ (emphasized)

Giving into the desire of personal control is rooted in Fear. Where there is Fear, there’s lack of Trust. Which leads to worry, stress and anxiety. As Christians, we’ve already received the gift of unearthly peace. So why are we still suffering these things? We continue to choose not to Trust Jesus with our lives. Yes, it’ll be a life long struggle until our human bodies die, but God still promises this peaceful relieve from the woes of this world. Simply choose to constantly give Him your trust, and I promise in the name of Jesus, you will see God’s promises manifest in your life. Thank you, Jesus! ☝️😌

Jeremiah 29:12-14

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."

When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, O LORD, I shall seek." Psalm 27:8

Many of us are after God’s hand, His provision and His blessing but the Psalmist David is going much farther—he is after God’s face. He wanted an intimate relationship with His LORD. Don’t let the demands that life brings keep you from what God is after. We want to be pragmatic and resolve our problems, but God wants us to know Him and, in the process, become more like Him. A relationship with God is much more than just changing our present situation, He wants to change us with His beauty…change us from glory to glory.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:7‭-‬14‬ ‭(NIV‬‬). “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

“Seek Bravely; Knock Boldly” by In Touch Ministries:

“Those who actively pursue God are never disappointed.”

“Yesterday, we looked at what it means to ask something of God and what we gain by doing so. But we are also told to do two additional things in our pursuit of God: “seek” and “knock.”

All three of the commands come with rock-solid promises: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matt. 7:7, emphasis added). Notice the Lord doesn’t say “maybe it will be given,” “perhaps you will find,” or “hopefully it’ll be opened.” He wants us to know that those who seek after Him will never be disappointed. The journey—however long or challenging it might be—will always be worth it.

But what kind of door does Jesus have in mind? It is Himself. In John 10:9 Jesus says, “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” Jesus is the door through which we find abundant, eternal life. When we knock, we trust that there is always more goodness in store for those who are in Christ. And when we walk through this open door, it is through faith in Christ on the path of salvation that He alone provides.

When you ask, ask for more of Jesus. When you seek, seek the path of Jesus. And when you knock, knock boldly in the certainty that Jesus will open Himself to you and welcome you home.”

It amazes me the lies people tell themselves with no backing for it. People really cannot tell what was invented in accuracy and what was invented by powers that be, or even the people, to deceive and confuse mankind.

Most scientists, called Nicola Tesla, and Albert Einstein false and foolish, because they stood on FACTS and TRUTH that people have been manipulated by mankind to not believe in or realize is the whole truth. Whole time E=mc2…

It’s time for people to realize that just because something is largely accepted it doesn’t mean it’s right or true. And just because a narrative is pushed doesn’t mean it’s real… just because an idea is what people WISHED were true in order to fit their own desires or desired identity or desired reality…. Doesn’t mean it’s true or real.

Remember that the truth aligns. If it doesn’t align across the board… if it doesn’t fit into the GRAND scheme of the universe and Gods voice and plans.. KNOW that it is NOT REAL. It’s something that mankind MADE UP, it’s an illusion, created to manipulate your mind and reality… not all things are made up babe… because the things that God “made up” or created… are the things that are REAL and don’t ever change.. they remain.

All REAL truth, information, and knowledge that is discovered is something God created that is a universal fact and the WHOLE truth.. everything else is a man made narrative that may or may not be true or accurate or real.

I push the idea of “whole truth” because there’s a difference between truth and fact. Fact is what people have largely accepted as the truth. While whole truth are the “facts” that cannot and will not change upon new discoveries or new information.

It’s a shameful thing to see that so many people are confused, and call the enlightened people the confused ones… because the truth that TRULY intelligent, educated, and enlightened peoples speak goes against what people WISH to be true.

There’s a difference between what is implemented or created based on actual truth and fact, and what is created and implemented based on people’s DESIRED truth or what they DESIRE the facts to be.

And people throw around the word “education” as if there’s no such thing as MISeducation…. And THEY are clearly a victim of it.
