\"SeekingHimLogo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, <\/span>
\na stronghold in times of trouble. <\/span>
\nThose who know Your name will trust in You <\/span>
\nfor You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.<\/span>
\nPsalms 9:9-10 <\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, those who seek the Lord will never be forsaken; that is the promise of God to us. \u00a0He also said \u201cSeek Ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these things shall be added unto You\u201d. \u00a0God is not a man that He can lie nor the son of man that He would change his mind. \u00a0What He says…He shall do it. \u00a0Especially to His very own.<\/p>\n

What is it to seek<\/strong> <\/span>the Lord<\/em>? \u00a0Seeking the Lord<\/em> <\/span>means seeking His presence…having access to Him. \u00a0The Bible repeatedly calls us to seek the Lord and to seek His presence continually.<\/p>\n

Now set Your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God.
\n1 Chronicles 22:19<\/p>\n

\n

God has made these promises to those who seek Him:
\n\u2022 Deuteronomy 4:29 \u00a0But if from there You seek the Lord your God, you will find Him if you look for Him with all Your heart and with all your soul.
\n\u2022 2 Chronicles 7:14 \u00a0 If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
\n\u2022 Proverbs 8:17 \u00a0 I love those who love Me and those who seek Me find Me….
\n\u2022 Luke 11:9 \u00a0 So I say unto you, Ask and it will be given to you, seek you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In all things when we seek the Lord we may ask anything in Jesus’ name and He will do it (John 14:14)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones
\nwho cry unto Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off?
\nLuke 18:7<\/p>\n

Let us seek the Lord where He may be found for the rewards are great. He promises and He will do it. He cannot lie. \u00a0I thank God for He has given us room to be found when we seek Him with all our hearts and souls.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n

Father, we thank You for the wonderful Word at the right time. \u00a0Thank You for Your promises to Your chosen ones are YES and AMEN through Christ Jesus. \u00a0Thank You because You always stand by Your word and You perform it. \u00a0Your Word, dear Lord, does not go back to You the same. \u00a0As we seek You with all our hearts and souls in all areas of our lives, dear Lord, give us also the heart to wait to receive from You. We need grace to be patient in as much as we believe we have received whatsoever our hearts desired. \u00a0Forgive us of our unbelief in one way or the other. Be glorified always. Thank You for hearing and answering our prayers. \u00a0In Jesus’ name we pray. \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
