Do You Really Desire God?

MONDAY’S DAILY BIBLE VERSE: “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.”  (The prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 55:6)

Welcome back to the Daily Bible Coach, where we give you 5 minutes of personal development and inspiration EACH morning… from a biblical perspective. Happy Friday to you friend, wherever in the world you are located at! If you live in a part of the world that celebrated Mother’s Day this past Sunday, I hope you had a GREAT one!

The daily bible verse and motivation for today comes from Pastor Rod Parsley:

Many Christians say that they long for a closer walk with God and that they desire to hear from Him. Yet each time they need answers or they have a problem they turn to friends, relatives, therapists or talk show hosts before they seek God.

Sometimes God does not even appear on the list. Yet the answers to their problems can be found at the throne of God.

Do you really desire God? Do you seek him daily? Do you commune with Him often? Do you meditate on His Word? Do you listen when He speaks?

The proof of desire is in the pursuit!

Luke 15:8-10 tells of a woman who lost a coin. She diligently searched for it—she had an earnest desire to find it. When she did find it, she called her neighbors to rejoice with her. She delighted in finding her lost coin.

As Christians we should have this same desire for the Lord. We should seek Him daily, continually, diligently…and as we do we should delight in Him, sharing our joy with friends and family—then God will give us the desires of our hearts (Psalms 37:4).

DECLARATION OF FAITH: “Today Lord, I will seek you FIRST in all my problems and decisions, large and small. I know that you have the answers and the key to every puzzle… and in You Lord, I can do no wrong… in Jesus’ name!”

Have a GREAT Monday, and see you tomorrow!
