Seeking the Lord with All the Heart

In Hebrews it says, “For he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

In the past I did not understand why I needed to seek Him since I already believed in God — nor did I know what I was looking for. Now as a result of the teachings here in Plainfield Church, I am making it a priority to daily seek God. Seeking to me now is an active desire to know God better and to take time to commit my thoughts to become closer to Him. I see now that a relationship with the Lord includes a desire to obey Him and listen to Him.

One thing that has been changing is how I shop. I am releasing a willful running around from store to store, to turning my days over to the care of God, and asking Him to lead me.

The other day an idea came to me to go into a store for a replacement part I needed. The item was specific and difficult to find. The wall was covered with many selections. I asked a nearby clerk for help, but he did not know. While I stood there quietly for a moment, another clerk walked over, seemingly out of nowhere, and offered to help. She immediately knew specifically what I needed and exactly where to find it. It felt like God was saying, “see what I can do.”
