 “Truth Seeker”

 

Scripture:

Psalm 105:4
Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore. (NKJ)

Observation:

Because this world is in a fallen state of sin and rebellion against the Holy God of creation, our lives are in constant conflict; not only to overcome the battles for our hearts and minds and the eternal life of our souls, but it is also an everyday struggle to physically survive as well (1 John 2:16-17). There is not a person alive that doesn’t face these very real and very difficult realities; realities that are reaching new heights with each passing day. Nothing that God has ever created was meant to survive on its own without the sovereign power of the Creator to hold it all together (Colossians 1:15, 17).

Application:

Everything creation is depends upon God alone to maintain its existence. There is no One or anything else that has the power or the ability to sustain all that has been created, especially the delicate balance it takes to keep mankind alive and breathing. We are weak in our physical strength, small in our stature, and powerless against the sin that holds every soul captive and in chains—a bondage that is impossible to break by human power alone. Many persons have tried and all have failed. The power of sin is often disguised not as sin, but as human rights—to take all that the world has to offer and seek its pleasures at all cost. Many try to fulfill their worldly lusts by ignoring the Provider altogether and seek only those things that satisfy the flesh, and then live in constant fear of loosing it, or they feel duped in their failure and hate life. There are still others who, in their pride, think they have gained it all, but wake up one day finding themselves eternally separated from God and trapped in a place of utter hopelessness, pain and suffering, and darkness. The best solution to this life’s hard realities, my friends, is to seek God, and do it before it’s too late. Seek to learn who you were created to be. Seek the knowledge of who God is and why He created what He did. Seek His strength in everything you do and you will gain the peace that overcomes this sin-filled, difficult life-journey. And as you seek the only True Living God, you will discover that we are all equally created to spend our life-journeys seeking God’s Face, His Heart, His Will, and praising His Holy Name. And although all the Honor & Glory belongs to God alone, He will share His Honor & Glory with everyone who faithfully becomes a loyal and trusted Truth seeker (Romans 2:10).

Prayer:

Please help me always, my Lord, to discern what is from You and what is not. The world is full of false prophets who cleverly disguise Your Truth or stretch it to the limit. Help us all, Your children, to remain in Your Light and keep our focus on You alone.

Amen
