Worship Believe

Jer 29:13  And ye shall SEEK ME, and FIND ME, when ye shall SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.

Searching for something with all your heart.  What does this mean to you? What do you do when you search for something in general, without your heart being involved? 

If you search for a pair of socks chances are you're going to find them in your sock drawer or the laundry, or maybe even a store. You know where to look for what you're searching. If you search for something less tangible like love, happiness, and the like there is no store to buy those things at, they don't reside in a drawer or a washing machine.  How do you search for love?  You seek another person with whom you're compatible and you choose to love. You commit to that person. We fall out of love with people when we no longer commit to them.  Is it any wonder our Savior told us to love our enemies? He knew that love is a choice and we can choose to love those that despitefully use us, even the loved ones that hurt us the most sometimes.

When we search for love we can find it, if we choose to live love. If you're looking for happiness, again, your definition of happiness depends on what makes you happy and God's word tells us about happiness-

Pro_3:13  Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Joh 13:15  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Joh 13:16  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

Joh 13:17  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

If we count happiness in sinful things, we don't know true happiness at all.

But we are talking about searching for God with all our heart and how we do that.

We pray- we communicate with God. He is REAL, and we must know that He is real, live as He is real. He needs us to communicate with Him.  If we are searching for Him with all our hearts then we will talk to Him as we search. We will do ALL we can to live as He would have us live and HE tells us in His word how that is. 

Our whole duty is to believe in God, this is our WORK-

Joh_6:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

How can you WORSHIP God without believing in Him, fully, wholly believe in Him? And if you do believe in Him, you must worship Him- you must make that belief REAL!

And that belief will be real if you LIVE in Him- truly worshipping Him constantly, not just once in awhile.  Worshipping God by BEING with GOD- having God with you in ALL YOU DO! Seriously, with ALL YOU DO.

Please, Father in Heave, help us WORSHIP You, seeking You with ALL our hearts, Believing in You fully! Your righteousness, not ours!

All in the name of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ!

Amen.
