Thought For Today - 8/31/08

Continuation of 8/30/08 Thought For Today . . .

When we, as believers, truly understand that without God, we only exist, we will get serious about seeking God. Once we understand it takes the wisdom and knowledge of God for us to live a truly blessed life, we will find time to search out that wisdom, no matter how busy we are. And, no matter how much we are chasing the $$$.

We will get up early in the morning to spend time with God or go to bed later – searching for Him at night. We will even turn off the one-eye monster (television). We will do whatever it takes. Note on television - I watch it mainly for news and weather. I only have basic cable (to be able see the local channels clearly) - don't need more than that. I rarely have time to watch it.

OK, it is going to take some type of endeavor in seeking God. We can't be laid-back Christians and find the completeness of God's wisdom and Master Plan for our lives. We just can't gather at church once a week, sing a song or two and listen to the minister’s sermon.

Please don't get me wrong. Gathering at church is good, and any degree of seeking God will bring us a definite amount of blessing. But if we want to live in power and victory on a continuing basis, if we want to function in the gifts of the Spirit and see miracles in our lives, seeking God have got to be our Number 1 priority.

There is nothing more important than going after God with your whole heart. It is the answer to everything. The more you seek Him, the more blessed you will be, not only in spiritual things but also in natural things such as health, finance, peace in your home, healing in your body and joy to your life!

Much love,
