Seek Him diligently.

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

Hebrews 11:6

Our opening scripture shows us that there is a reward for seeking the Lord. However, consistency is required in order to obtain that reward. It is important for you to also seek the Lord only after the due order stipulated in the Word of God. That is the only way He will reward your service.

David, the king of Israel, wanted to bring the ark of God to Jerusalem. But because he did not follow the due order as prescribed by God in His Word, for the Priest alone to carry the ark , God smote Uzza one of the men chosen to carry the ark and he died for touching the ark. (See 1 Chronicles 13:1-13). David sought to please the Lord by that service, but because he did not follow the due order, it brought judgment instead of a reward.

There is a due order and principle that God has stipulated in His Word for us to follow so that our services can be pleasing to Him. Therefore it is essential for us to take the time to carefully examine Seek Him diligently.
