Seeking the Lord
Matthew 6:33 Amplified Bible (AMP) – But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) …
To seek – aim at and strive after the kingdom of the Lord. Sweetheart, Christianity and seeking the Lord is pure work, it doesn’t start on an autopiloting or on a silver platter.
Seek is this case requires real work on your part as a believer, for example, the Holy Spirit might impress you to pray or read the bible, but it should be done by your mouth and your hand, even your mind.
Seeking the Lord is a conscious effort we need to exert on spiritual things to be able to attain or aid us in knowing the Lord Jesus.
Sweetheart, work means work, this effort will be on our part if and when we really need and want to seek the Lord.
Hmm, to seek Lord in prayer when the weather is cold is no joke, to awake from the bed, to pick the bible to read and fellowship with the Lord is no joke.
We need to discipline this flesh, which is the only way we can seek the Lord.
Prayer
In the Precious Name of Jesus, I pray to ask and receive the discipline to seek the face of the Lord, with all my heart – Hallelujah!
