Seek First...

Yesterday I talked about being still before God and acknowledging that He had it under control. Today, seemed like what He was telling me all day long was "Seek me."
Hebrews 10:22 says, "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." God wants us to draw close to Him, close enough so that we are covered by His redemption. He wants us to look to Him first, because He has the plans already worked out.
In James, He echoes this, "Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded." The only way that we can cleanse our hands and purify our hearts is through Him, and His redemption. Everything else we try is only temporary, and is never really a fix. Often, when I try to clean up my self, I tend to make life a bigger mess.
"Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven, and all of these will be added." Matthew 6:33 Things like food. Clothing. Shelter. Peace of mind about tomorrow. If you seek God, He will see that you are cared for. He loves us with an unfailing love, an everlasting love, and one characteristic of loving someone is caring for their needs.
While it is true that sometimes He wants us to be still, He also wants us to be moving... kind of difficult to imagine. As we are quiet, and still, we can actively be seeking Him. Praying for His guidance. Being quiet and listening. And then, that still small voice will quietly comfort us, and we will feel Him. Always present. Always near. Always caring. Always- He is, after all, the Great I Am.. He Is. Always.
