seeking God

“…He [God] rewards those who sincerely seek Him”. – Hebrews 11:6 New Living Translation

Take a moment to think about the things you have done to get or seek the attention of someone you really liked. You probably went out of your way to talk to them, be around them or wore an outfit you thought they might like. You also may have showed up at places you thought they would be or even hung around people who knew them. And you probably did things you thought would please them or make them like you more. Whatever you did, your actions were focused on letting them know you knew they existed and that you were interested in getting to know them. The reward you received from your actions was the birth of a new relationship or friendship.

But, the most important relationship in your life is your relationship with God. All the energy you put into seeking the attention of other people should not compare to the amount of energy you put into seeking God.

Simple ways you can seek God and let Him know you know He exists:

1. Read your bible daily – 2 Timothy 3:16-17
2. Pray/Talk to Him on a regular basis – Philippians 4:6-7
3. Hang around people who know Him – Proverbs 27:17
4. Attend church on a regular basis – Hebrews 10:25

By doing these things over time, you will develop a relationship and friendship with God that will far surpass any other. And the rewards for doing will be so much greater too. So, make a quality decision to do these things on a consistent basis and reap the rewards of your actions.
