Seeking God

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world — the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does — comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." 1 John 2:15-17

Seeking for God is like searching for a treasure. You don’t wait for someone to show up at your door and hand you a treasure. You go look for it.  You may not even know exactly what the treasure is but you know it has great value and, therefore, are willing to do what it takes to find it. 

If we truly want to find God, we must be willing to do the things that God wants us to do. The Bible promises that if we seek God, he will come to us. God wants to be in our lives but sin separates us from God. The things that are acceptable and pleasing to the world are not pleasing to God. In order to get closer to God we must be willing to turn away from the things that are not from God. 

Looking back will only cause you to stumble and fall.  If you carry around prides and achievement  that keep your focus on the past, you are missing your present and future!  You will not have your eyes on the blessings God is trying to give you on a daily basis. 

Ask yourself this question: Are you ready to start the new chapter of your life , opening up a new door and dong new things? If you eyes are always looking backwards, you are blind to the thing before you.
