Seeking God

Following on from the last post and the one on fasting, I have this overwhelming feeling that I should be seeking God. If I am honest there are things in life that I want and want God to bless rather than seeking what He actually wants for me. This causes that confusion causes stagnation, the analysis of paralysis! Should I shouldn't I? Is it right?

So, I want want to seek God. I have been carrying the burden of what I should do for long enough and have been down enough dead ends and have come to that "Right, I'm not getting dressed until you tell me which pair of socks to wear!" place!

I am fed up with trying to work it out for myself. A favourite Psalm, Psalm 13:2 says, "How long shall I take counsel in my soul," I picked through this using a Hebrew dictionary and it could be translated, "How long do I need to work it out for myself?" As in "How long do I need to wrestle with my thoughts?"

How long? How long indeed?

James 1:5 answers the question, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

The answer to the question, "How long should I work it out for myself?" is "Don't! Ask God instead!" It also has that flavour of what we saw yesterday, about God rewarding those who seek Him.

Therefore, I is seeking God!
