Do we want to know God more than anything else in this entire world? Hang on because I want to share something with you today that will “jumpstart” your engine!
Was there a time in my life when finding His glory, His presence, His wonderful face was all that mattered to me? Perhaps daily cares have consumed my time, thoughts, and energy. Perhaps a sense of hopelessness has engulfed my heart due to circumstances or negative experiences. Will I dare to return? Will I dare to believe again that if I truly seek Him with all my heart I WILL FIND HIM?
Or, if we’ve never known His fire, His glory, do we hunger and thirst for God today?
I want to tell you that I cannot live without Him. My first morning hours are set aside for Him alone. I journal my questions and listen for His answers. I read chapters from my Bible and other books God leads me to read. My new “Kindle Fire” eBook tablet is set to Bible Gateway’s Audio Bible and listen to the Word of God, chapter after chapter. That Kindle Fire HP reader is kindling the FIRE OF GOD inside of me as I give attention to the reading of the Word of God.
All my life I’ve wanted to live in this place–this commitment to daily give my first hours to the Almighty to seek His face. I’m sorry to say that it took me years to finally surrender the top of my day to seek God. But what TREASURE I have found!
DO YOU HUNGER AND THIRST FOR GOD? As soon as you can, if you dare to seek the face of the Almighty, set aside a couple hours to go to your prayer closet alone and play this You Tube (audio).
Hope, I’ve copied the first few sentences of this post, and have recommended my readers link into your blog for the rest of the message. http://www.jean-oathout.blogspot.com It is to appear with the post, “When We Cry Out to God”, on the 15th of December.
Thanks for sharing. Jean
