Wise Men Still Seek Him
In this fast-paced world, I wonder how many take time to truly seek God to determine His will for their lives. I know that, for myself, although I spend time each day in prayer and Bible reading, I don’t always take time to hear what God desires to speak to me. There are many days I need direction and I wonder why God doesn’t give it. As I slow down the last week of the year, I wonder why I allow myself to run at such a hectic pace the rest of the year. I pray God will help me to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness … to not be afraid to be Mary but be willing to sit at His feet and listen to Him talk.
There are a lot of “important” things to accomplish in life but none is as important as developing a close relationship with your Heavenly Father. Just as you cannot maintain a close relationship with someone you never talk to, so you cannot develop a close relationship with God if you never talk to Him and take time to listen to His replies. No one likes a one-sided conversation, and God is no exception.
My prayer for this coming year is that we all draw near to God and allow Him to draw near to us. I pray we experience His presence like never before. It’s hard to imagine revival coming to our nation but it can if God’s people will humble themselves and pray and seek His face (2 Chronicles 7:14). Commit to do that and then stand back and see the mountains God moves on your behalf. If nothing else, the change that occurs in your life will be worth the time you took to seek His face.
