« As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God »
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.
- God seekers are those who are comfortable with His commandments.
People do not seek God today – not because they are ignorant of what they stand to gain seeking the One from whom all blessings flow.
Rather, they are not comfortable with His demands on what they consider as their right to decide how to live their lives.
The elders say, “A child born yesterday who threatens not to play with us should be asked, ‘Do you think we were lonely before your birth?'”
- In other words, if we do not seek God’s face, its to our disadvantage and not God’s.
David, in our Bible reading, gave his reason for seeking God when he said
“I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God”
He said further Psalm 121:1-2NKJV,
« I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth »
Beloved, it pays to seek the Lord.
Isaiah 55:6 encourages us to do so when He may be found and before it is too late.
- This means there would come a time when man may seek God and He may not be found.
« For this reason let all godly people pray to You when you may be found. Then raging floodwater will not reach them »
How do we seek God ?
God can be sought from His revealed truth, as written in the Holy Scriptures.
When we study the word of God consistently, we are seeking God because Jesus is the Word of God and He is God, John 1:1.
We must also seek God with all of our hearts if we would find Him, Jeremiah 29:13.
We also seek God by looking out for how to please Him.
Jesus said we are His disciples indeed if we do that which He commanded us to.
How many self-professing Christians are doing God’s will ?
God has promised that if you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him.
Commit to seeking God with all your heart today and you will find Him.
Prayer focus – Father, please reveal Yourself to me as I seek to know You more and more.
