Seeking God {Guest Post}


This month has been a bit of a struggle with what I should write. I have had conflicting feelings on what to write if anything. Mostly I am struggling with feeling inadequate to even do a blog. However, as I was thinking about it, I realized something major. I have not prayed about it. In fact I have not really given much spiritual thought to it. That is where I realized I have gone majorly wrong. How in the world can I encourage others spiritually if I am not listening to God’s leading? Yes, I am following God and yes I love Him but recently I have not been as close to Him as I should be. Of course my inner self has no desire to admit this, but the realization hit me that I have a strong feeling I am not alone. I think we have all had those times when we haven’t drawn as close to God as we should. We have let our personal time with God kind of fall by the wayside, or we do it without much thought. It tends to just be something we do because we know we have to. My responsibility is to live my life for God. After all it is my “reasonable service ”(Romans 12:1).  It is only reasonable that I spend time with God, the one who created me and died for me. Jeremiah 29:13 says: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” So this month’s blog is going to be short for the main reason its time I start seeking God again. Thank you for your understanding. I pray that all of us continue to follow close to God each and every day!

Amen!it's amazing how we get so busy doing what we know is God's Will (the big one,long term goal ) that we neglect the every day communion with the One who gave us the job to do. ..

Thank you! I was going to delete the blog without reading it because I was so busy today. :( I am thankful I read it because you have expressed what many of us go through occasionally. We may be God's servants, but we are still human beings. Praying for you.

We all know what you're talking about. Hugs and know that we all are human beings and forget the most important things, sometimes. Lots of love from Spain to there.
