Seek

October 18th – 1 Peter 5:8-9

1 Peter 5:8-9

You and I have a real enemy in Satan. The one who seeks to divide, discourage, and destroy what God is building in us. Every day he tries to whisper lies, stir up worry, and pull our focus from God’s peace. He prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. And not always does he roar loudly. Sometimes he comes quietly, through weariness, distraction, or despair. But we are not powerless. We stand firm, clothed in the strength of our Savior, anchored in truth that cannot be shaken. Each time we resist the enemy’s lies and cling to God’s promises, we remind him that he has already lost. Our victory isn’t in our own strength, but in the One who lives within us. God equips us with courage when we feel weak and fills us with peace when chaos surrounds us. The more we trust His power, the more the enemy’s roar loses its sting. So, keep standing firm. Be rooted, watchful, and confident in the God who fights for you. Because the Lion of Judah reigns, and no darkness can overcome His light.

April 4th – Luke 19:10

Luke 19:10

What a beautiful truth it is to know Jesus came for the lost. He didn’t wait for us to find Him, He came looking for us. For me, and for you. Jesus stepped into our brokenness, into our wandering hearts, and said, “You’re worth saving.” His mission was never general or distant, it was personal. He knew our names, our wounds, our stories, long before we ever called out to Him.

Jesus came for the woman who’s felt unseen. He came for the man who’s run too far, And He came for the one burdened by shame and guilt. Jesus came for every soul still searching, still hoping, still wondering if they’re lovable. The truth is we were lost, and Jesus came to find us. And even now, He’s still pursuing hearts. But here’s the question I’ve been asking myself lately. Am I truly seeking Jesus daily? Not just knowing about Him, but longing to know Him more? May we not just be found by Him, but follow Him with hearts that daily seek His face, His will, and His presence. Because Jesus came for us. And He still calls us to come to Him.

March 23rd – Matthew 7:7-11

Matthew 7:7-11

Do you ever doubt that your prayer makes a difference. Based on God’s Word prayer is vital in our relationship with God. Jesus encouraged us to pray and when we put forth the effort to pray, God responds. 

ASK: We need to make our requests known. Going to God is a recognition that you have needs and you need His help. God doesn’t want us to think that we are self sufficient and do not need Him. Contrary to what some may teach, however, this is not a promise that God will give us our every whim and desire. He is not a genie in a bottle. But, He will give us what we He determines we need and what is best for us according to His will. 

SEEK: God wants us engaged with Him and His Word. He wants us to have an inquiring mind and a teachable heart. Seeking God grows our faith and prayer is an act of faith. “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”  Hebrews‬ ‭11:6‬ ‭

KNOCK: We knock on a door when we seek admittance. That means we believe that someone will respond and give us access. Prayer becomes that knock on heaven’s door and through the blood of Jesus, we have access to the very throne of God. We have access no matter our race, sex, age, position, etc. We can enter even though we are not worthy. Christ makes us worthy. He is that door of access to our Heavenly Father. 

We aren’t promised every thing we desire,  but we are promised that God will give us good things. Just think. If selfish, human parents can provide what they know is good for their children,  how much more can we trust in the goodwill of our Heavenly Father to provide what He knows will be for our ultimate good.

May I encourage you to embrace prayer as vital to your Christian growth and wellbeing. It’s very simple. Your Heavenly Father is waiting for you, His beloved child ,to meet with Him. Ask, seek, knock. He will provide, be available and bless You with what is meant for your ultimate good.

Blessings, Becky
