Seek the Lord Wholeheartedly

Scripture 1 Chron 22:19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD.”

Observation: We need to set out heart and soul to seek God. It needs to be a very purposeful desire to seek God. We can’t halfheartedly seek God on our terms, it needs to be our purpose in life that no matter what we do we set our heart and soul to find Him. We will never accomplish what God has designed us to do unless we seek Him and ask of Him what He desired. If you want to have a completely fulfilled life you need to go to the creator and ask what He desires of you.

Application: I need to avoid being distracted during prayer. I need to be focused on my Lord no matter what I’m doing and do it for the glory of the Lord. My only purpose here to fulfill God’s plan for my life and I can only do that if I’m in His will and to be in His will I must seek what He desires of me. The scripture tells us if we grow closer to God He will grow closer to us. We need to make the first step we must with our whole heart and soul desire to seek Him and to please Him.

Prayer: My Lord I dearly want to know you better and know what you desire for me. I get distracted all of the time and my mind wanders, help me please stay focused on you and the purpose you have created me for. May my life glorify you each day and that I will be a light in this dark world shining on the path that leads to you. I love you Lord.
