Seek Me


For everyone who asks receives

Are you comfortable with all the free-will God is allowing you these days? Have you noticed He’s real good at staying out of your way when you already know the plans you have for yourself? What about the consequences of your decisions? Are they turning out exactly as you expected? If they are, isn’t God’s grace wonderful? But, if you are disappointed in your results, do you think if you had asked God to help you maybe things could have turned out better for you? I know they would have! 

Seeking God’s wisdom first is always our best advice. However, how many times do we jump ahead of Him avoiding the plans we know He has for us, (Jeremiah 29:11) and we do it our way? I am afraid there are more times than we want to admit that we do! So, what about the failures we’ve experienced? O Lord, help us to understand how much we need your infinite wisdom not ours! Forgive us Father, we ask now for Your wisdom.

It is written; “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; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened” (Matthew 7:7).

Is there some important decision you are going to be making in the next week or so? Are you considering making a critical move of some kind in your life in the near future? Are you being given a choice to make, and it disturbs you? Will you trust God this time to open that door for you? This time, ask Him to give you what you need. Jesus said in; (Matthew 6:8) that when you pray; “…your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”

This time, seek Him with all your heart. He is saying; “I am here!…I will answer you.”

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.
