Diligently Seeking

Whether it is read by 10 or 10,000, I have felt the leading of the Lord to once again use the gifts He's given me in a deliberate and focused way.  It's been over a year now since I have done any teaching, and if I don't put a demand on the gift somehow, I am wasting it.  So, here we are.

I’ve always found that the best environment for teaching is one in which there is an exchange, not only a giving, but also a receiving.  If you feel so inclined, please feel free to share what the Lord is showing you today.  As members of the Body of Christ, we are to spur one another on to love and good works.  Please study these things out for yourselves.  Don’t just take my word for it.  1 Thess. 5:21 says, “Test all things; hold fast what is good.”

I've entitled this blog "Diligently Seeking Him Today" because it is what I need to do every single day.  The title comes from Hebrews 11:6, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." NKJV  The phrase "diligently seek" is a single Greek word, ekzeteo.  It means to search out, investigate, crave, demand and worship.  Our greatest reward is to truly know God and to be known by Him.  We must crave the Lord above all else.

It is a seeking that is always in the present and should be continuous.  My prayer is that any who read this blog hear the Lord's heart, are blessed and are challenged to pursue Him with greater tenacity.  I want to know God more every day.

In pursuit,

Haans
