We have been in our home here in Corpus Christi now for almost 5 months but to say we are settled in would be a stretch. You know how you feel when you need something and you know it has to be here but you just can’t find it? Depending on what it is, it can lead to desperation when your search turns up nothing. When we first moved in, this was a daily occurrence. At least now, it only happens about once or twice per week – this morning it was an umbrella.
In life, we chase after a lot of things – that career, that perfect house, the accolades that we expect from hard work, comfort and peace. We spend our lives in pursuit, never satisfied and never content.
Scripture teaches us that there is something – or rather someone – we should seek before all else. Jesus words tell us that we should seek after God’s Kingdom before all else and when we do, all these other things will come, but it starts with seeking God.
I have to ask myself, “Do I seek God before all else?” Am I desperately seeking a relationship with Jesus? The Psalmist paints a vivid picture in chapter 42. He says in verses 1 and 2, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
Does your soul literally pant for God? Are you desperately seeking the Father as if your life depended on finding Him?
The reality is, your soul does.
Seek God today.
