“Give us this day our daily bread…”
Luke 11:11
Seeking God and His will in earnest through His daily Word is a reward and joyful acclimation in being one with the LORD.
When we have the heart for our Father, He knows. We can’t fool Him, He searches our hearts for that which we feel. Because some “say” things aloud, but inwardly, their heart is not of what their lips are saying.
Seeking Him in earnest, on a daily basis in all that we do is tantamount to the well being of our existence, and more important, in so doing, we are pleasing to our Father.
Giving the whole heart to God in Love:
Deut 6:5– And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might…
When we love Him fully and completely with a true heart we are following His commandments and fulfilling His will and purpose in our life.
In Obedience:
Psalm 119:2 –Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart…
When we seek Him earnestly, we are truly engaging our spirit with His Spirit and coming up higher, and therefore we are blessed and rewarded by His grace and promises.
In Trust:
Proverbs 3:5—Trust in the Lord with thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Our Father is a loving God, and a patient God, and a Faithful God. He wants our love, and He wants us to acknowledge and seek Him, and lean on Him. He is our strength, and our Light to guide our path. We are not of His intelligence, nor do we begin to understand the platitudes of His love and wisdom concerning His children.
In Prayer:
Je 29:13: And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart…
Again, He knows our heart. He can hear and see heart filled with true love and obedience. Therefore, when we do seek Him in earnest, we will “find Him…”
Finally, In Repentance:
Joel 2:12: Therefore also now, said the LORD, turn you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Full hearts of love and penance are called for to continue in our walk with Him. As we are not perfect, we will all fall short, and all we can do each time is to repent, and the LORD will forgive. He loves us, and wants us to share in eternity with Him.
So seek Him in earnest.
Love Him.
Seek Him.
Be obedient
Trust Him.
Pray and speak with Him daily.
And repent.
This in accordance to His purpose in all things we shall fulfill the goal of our lives as Christians and children of Faith, and children of God.
Did you tell Him that you Love Him today?
If not, what are you waiting for?
Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
