Seeking Gods FACE
Seeking God….To Impart Zealous Passion For Him
ARE YOU ZEALOUS FOR HIM?
Zealous according to the dictionary means: full of, characterized by, or due to zeal; ardently active, devoted, or diligent.
Today, we are “Seeking God to impart zealous passion for Him”
It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before Him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship Him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration." – John 4:23-24 (The Message)
I like how “The Message” says, “Those who worship Him must do it out of their very being…” We are to be on FIRE FOR HIM; not lukewarm. We are His people that God Himself is out looking for to be honest before Him in their worship!
People who know me know that I get very excited talking about how God has changed my life. Oh how I get so excited too being in a room full of Christians worshiping and praising God. However, I admit that day to day in the “world” I can get caught up in the “woes” of life. People who do not believe, the ones who have no hope, or the ones that think they can do everything on their own; when I am around them too much my fire goes dim, so the only way that I can prevent that is to daily SEEK HIS FACE. I have to intentionally seek His face. If I don’t then I risk becoming a “lukewarm Christian”. We all know what that means.
I pray that we all can have that zealous passion for Him daily! To spread the GOOD NEWS!
And for “Seeking God for…FAMILIES:
“The world is tugging at our children’s hearts, pulling them down away from God. Loving our children means we are willing to get down in the trenches and fight to turn our children’s hearts toward God - toward His Word and His ways.” – Elizabeth George
