Happy Monday! This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice! When my boys were little, they would alway ask for things at the grocery check out line. One day, I was standing in the line at the grocery store and over heard a little boy telling his mother, “I want it and I want it now!” I chuckled because it reminded me of my boys when they were little.
I realized a couple of weeks ago that I was more like this little boy than I cared to admit. It is so amazing how God works in our lives. He can speak to us through a song or a sermon. It may be all at once or little by little.
When my focus is off, I don’t hear God’s voice! I tend to listen to what I want and need.
What are you focused on today? It is so easy to get our eyes off of God and on to what the world offers.
God wants us to seek His presence not His presents! The word “presence” means face which represents a personal relationship with God.
As we continue to seek God, we grow spiritually and we learn what is truly important.
Psalm 27:4, “One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:

That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of Jehovah,
And to inquire in his temple.”
God is never more than one thought away. We may not always feel like it, but He is always present. God wants and needs us to have faith and believe.
Hebrews 11:6 states, “and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.”

Say no to I want it and I want it now!
It is certainly okay to ask for things but more frequently we should ask for more of Him.
Trust God to give you what you need, when you need it! Matthew 6:33 says to “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.”
A new song came out a couple of weeks ago and it is on my daily playlist. I wanted to share it with you. Please enjoy!
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope that you will have a lovely week. Seek God first!
Let’s be friends. Stay in touch.
