How do I seek God?

 As I prayed and asked God this morning to change my mind, my heart and my soul to love Him more, to seek Him more, to obey Him and to get closer to Him each day, He gave me this scripture and the message trough my devotion.

 "But as for me, I would seek God"  Job 5:8

 When we seek the Lord, He makes Himself known to us.  He is forever accessible and available to those who seek Him.  We are wise to seek God anytime we have sinned, and to do so with prayer, fasting, and a genuinely humble heart. We are wise to seek God anytime we face danger.  We must seek God with a humility of heart and with a desire to have a greater manifestation of righteousness in our hearts.  We are always to seek God as our first priority.  

 I have been asking myself how I am seeking God specially the last past two weeks.  How do I seek God?  What does that really mean "Seeking God?"  What do you do to seek God?  I pray and read the scriptures every day.  Then how come I have been feeling I am not really connected with God these days?  How do I pray?  How do I read the scriptures?  How do I spend time with God?  Praying, reading the scriptures, serving others.... These things makes me feel I am seeking God.  However my heart has not been at the right place.  It has not been before God all the time.  Other things have come as my first priority.  I have been lost in the busyness of daily life.   I ask myself everyday "How do I seek God as my first priority?"

  1. Proverbs 3:5-6
    New King James Version (NKJV)
    5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    And lean not on your own understanding;
    6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
    And He shall direct your paths

    Yukie san,
    My advice is to trust and obey. His ears are open to the prayer of the righteous. You are made righteous through faith in Christ, and not in anything you do or don't do. He tests the righteous to see how much they trust and love Him. If you don't hear His voice, be patient and wait, He speaks to the trusting/obedient heart.

    Hope that helps,
    Joe
