2 July Psalm 63

Seek the Lord

Psalm 63:1(NKJV) O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. Seeking the Lord in prayer is something we ought to do at all times, continually, and without ceasing. This should be our priority.

1 Chronicles 16:11(ESV) Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually! 1 Thessalonians 5:17(ESV) pray without ceasing,

John 4:23-24(NLT) But the time is coming — indeed it’s here now — when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” Seeking the Lord is not a matter of when, where, and how. It is a matter of the heart. Any time is the right time to draw near to God in prayer.

James 4:8(ESV) Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

There is one thing that will determine the course of your prayer life: your priorities. Everyone has a set of priorities. Your priorities determine how you spend your time, with whom you spend your time, and how you make decisions. Psalm 63 shows us the priority of this man of God under pressure.

Seeking after God should be our most important priority. “Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they had found Him, the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking…. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth.” - A.W. Tozer

Those who put God first will stand out from the rest of the world. Pursue God; seek Him. Go after a relationship with Him. You will find that if you seek God, He will always be open to you.
