Seek Him early.


"When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek."

Psalm 27:8

Our opening scripture shows us that God expects us to seek Him. To seek connotes to desire, to crave, to investigate, to study, etc.

In Matthew 7:7, Jesus said, "…seek, and ye shall find; …" The Psalmist in Psalm 63:1 says, "O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;" This verse reveals to us how highly we ought to make God our priority above all else by seeking Him early. Secondly, it shows us that we seek God for a refreshing.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." This demonstrates that we seek what we prioritize.

Since God desires that we seek Him, I will begin to share with you today some ways in which we can seek after Him. Firstly, you can seek after God in prayer. Christians who experience dryness in their spiritual lives usually do not know that they can experience a refreshing by seeking God in prayer first thing every day.

This is why as a Christian who wants to remain refreshed in your walk with the Lord, you must have a daily scheduling of time with God in prayer. Not doing this means you are not prioritizing God in your schedule. If you have not been scheduling time to seek Him early daily, I encourage you to start doing so today and you will begin to experience a refreshing in your daily walk with Him.

Instruction.

Sing songs of love and worship to the Lord today.

For further study read:

Psalm 5:3, Psalm 78:34, Proverbs 8:17, Mark 1:35.

Doing the Word

Schedule a particular time to meet with the Lord early daily.
