Yesterday the Holy Spirit led us to a little word that has tremendous meaning and significance in our Christian lives. The word is “seek.” We find this little word repeated over and over again throughout the Bible because it is the verb the Holy Spirit used to describe how we are to live our lives on a daily basis.
The definition of seek is to diligently search or long for something that is usually important and/or valuable. As to seek after a hidden treasure. To seek after wisdom and knowledge. Below are several examples of the word seek found in the Word of God.
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from now you shall seek the Lord your God, you shall find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
1 Chronicles 16:10-11 Glory in His Holy Name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His Face evermore!

What are you seeking? What do you want more than anything else?
Seek the Lord with all your heart. Only He can……….turn the tide
Seeking more every day, Doreen
