Heard a great message last Saturday night about the one thing, been thinking alot about that here lately. It seems to be something that God is wanting me to learn, because our church is going through John Bevere's heart ablaze and just today as I was looking through the books on my shelf I picked up God Chasers by Tommy Tenney. To be successful in anything we have got to realize the only thing that matters is that we go after God with all that is within us.
The scripture says, Psalm 42:1 - As the hart(deer) panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. (emphasis added) You notice how it says my soul panteth after? It means, that deer was seeking for the water, so we should be seeking for the living water, the way, the truth, and the life....Jesus Christ!!! Another scripture says this, Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and the he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
(emphasis added) Notice again the key factor there that he rewards them that diligently seek him!!! You wanna know what that reward is???
The Bible tells us in James 4:8 - Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you...That is the reward, when you seek after God he rewards you by meeting you!! I pray that God places an insatiable hunger inside of you to truly know him and to be near him!!
God Bless,
Nathan
