Continuing with Matt 6:33

I truly love this verse. There is so much we can learn from this verse, and so much we can see God do if we will live out this verse. I see so many people seeking after so many different aspects of God. People seek after His power, His manifestations, or His blessings. There is nothing wrong with any of these things. They are all of God. But if you are one of these people, I want to encourage you to begin to seek the face of God. Seek just to get to know Him and know His heart. Seek to find out what He is really like, and then ask Him to conform you into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). That is what we were all created for, to manifest Christ in the midst of a sinful world. The way we do that is to first get to know Him and let Him develop Christ-like character on the inside of us. I truly believe that our wonderful Heavenly Father would not possibly conform us into the image of His Son, send us out into the world, and not give us the authority and power that He gave His Son and has promised to all who believe in His Son and make Him Lord. The problem with us is we are a bunch of 4 year olds spiritually, but we want the keys to our Father’s car now. Our Father is too wise to give the keys to us, because He knows we would wind up hurting ourselves. Let’s make a commitment together. Let’s seek the face of the Lord together. Let’s love the Lord our God with ALL our hearts, ALL our minds, ALL our souls, and with ALL of our strength and see if our Father won’t give us the Keys to the Kingdom. Remember “If ye then, being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father in heaven give good things to them that ASK Him” Matthew 7:11.
