Our purpose in life is to seek to know Him better. When we seek to know God better, we become deeply and intimately acquainted with Him. We begin to understand and recognize His wonders more clearly. In the book of Philippians the apostle Paul cries out that we should have a deeper relationship with Christ so that the trials and tribulations will go barely noticeable. No, this doesn't mean that you won't go through SOMETHING! But, it does mean that when a storm comes your way, you will be so consumed in the Lord that you will be able to stay prayed up. You will have the strength to rebuke the devil and his wicked ways so that he will flee from you, your home, your job, your child, etc.
It is the beginning of a new year and we often find ourselves making resolutions. "I'm going to stop drinking.", "I'm going to stop cursing.", "I'm going to be nicer." How many of these resolutions do we actually keep? The one thing that we fail to realize is that maybe, just maybe, IF WE were to make the resolution to Seek to Know God Better... all of those other goals will fall into place. Once we allow Him to come into our life and take control, the urge to curse and drink or be easily angered will fall away. Nothing but His light will begin to shine through us.
...Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed...
When seeking to be better and to be closer to Christ, there will always be those who will question you, your purpose, motivation and drive. Do not be ashamed because the reward of everlasting life is much greater than eternal damnation.
As you go through your day pray to God and thank Him for your life, remember to bless others so that you will be able to receive your blessings, and most of all Seek To Know God Better.... Be Blessed!!!
