Continually Seeking Him | Seek the Lord and His strength, Seek His face continually.
430am vs 830am this morning. I am usually looking at darkness this early in the morning but today God lit up His creation with snow. I love how the snow lights up the darkness especially at 430am.
We are God’s creation and knowing, walking daily with, being obedient to Him, our light will shine.
Worship is my happy place. Only in worship is my mind free from the cares of the world, of life. Only in worship is my soul truly at peace. Only in worship is real joy filling my heart. Only in worship can I find the strength to face each day, every situation with the right perspective. Only in worship am I fully in the presence of God.
Enter His presence today and be blessed.
I have always read and understood this passage as God being the owner of the vineyard and Jesus the Son whom He sent. But that is as far as my understanding went until this morning.
The Holy Spirit unveiled something in verse 41 and 43. The priests and Pharisees understood that the vineyard would be taken away and given to those who would produce fruit.
I wonder, am I producing fruit for the Kingdom of God? How many people call themselves Christians but don’t produce fruit? No fruit, no vineyard.
It is a responsibility of every Christian to be producing fruit for the kingdom of God.
What does your heart say about you? Does the outflow of your heart express Jesus?
“Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” (Mt. 13:13).
Are we seeking to know the truth? What is the desire of our heart? Is it to know Jesus, the truth, seek Him with all of our heart, to love Him with all of our heart?
“For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.” Matthew12:50.
Read this I can’t tell you how many times but this morning it hit me like a rock. We are not part of the family with Jesus unless we are doing the will of the Father. I’ve been meditating on this for a bit and am overwhelmed by this statement.
What is the will the Father? The Bible tells me.
How many are reading it to know? How many professing Christians don’t know? How many are seeking in prayer confirmation of the Word in them? How many are seeking to know, desiring to obey and are actually brothers, sisters, mothers of Christ.
Wow, conviction here. Am I seeking God’s will? Am I being obedient? Am I truly part of the family of God that Jesus is? Just thinking and pouring it out.
