Seekers

Seekers

All too often we find ourselves in difficult places where we feel lost. It is not God’s desire for us to be without direction. A characteristic that God desires for us is to become disciplined seekers. The world we live in is an instant world where anything you need can be found in moments. The internet is full of information that is quickly accessible. Much of the quick information we hope to find on the web lends itself to instant gratification and answers. The Word gives us answers that last a lifetime and hope that endures for more than a moment. God never changes and He does not shift His stance on issues. Therefore, the Bible is the place we can go for unchanging information that makes us wise and disciplined.

Know that God’s desire for us is to become seekers. Unlike the world’s view of God, He is not an unkind Father who wants to insist on harsh commands and unreasonable requests. The seeking process will create a learner’s heart within us and while we wait for answers, patience is perfected. God is transforming us through the process of seeking and waiting. We are beautiful children who are becoming disciplined, patient and full of wisdom and strength. God does not want His children to be frightened cry-babies; He develops WARRIORS!

Questions For You:

In the last six months what have you gone through that has made you a seeker of direction?
What character trait do you feel God is developing within you?


We are co-missioned to go into the world and be difference makers. Jesus was just that, One who changed the world. As you learn to seek directions for your life, and subsequently find answers, then God will widen your search field to help those around you. Discipline yourself to spend time in the Word everyday and look for answers and knowledge that can help you, your family, and others.
