Psalm 119 verse 2- Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.
Lamentations 3 verse 25- The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
We see in these scriptures that God gives us Hope to know that when we seek Him diligently and fervently that we can know that He won't leave us, we can see that God gives us the abilities to have strength and come to understanding that our Hope lies within Him because He helps us to understand that without Him, we wouldn't be here because He gives us life.

I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
James 4 verse 8- Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
In these last few scriptures we see how God shows us that when we Pray, when we seek, when we Purify our Hearts, when we call upon His Name and we seek Him with diligence and we seek spiritual guidance from Him in prayer, that we have a understanding of knowledge, love, patience, hope, humility, grace, peace, and the understanding of what it also means to forgive. In everything, we see how God helps us to rely on Him in Humbleness so that we can continue to seek with His help in what His Plan is for our lives, because God knows the plans that He has set in stone for us and without Him, where would we be? What would we be doing?
Purify my heart, Let me be as gold And precious silver, Purify my heart Let me be as gold, Pure gold, Lord, Purify my heart, Let me be as gold And precious silver, Purify my heart, Let me be as gold, Pure gold, Refiner's fire, My heart's one desire, Is to be holy, Set apart for You Lord, I choose to be holy, Set apart for You My Master, Ready to do Your will.
… You call me out upon the waters, The great unknown where feet may fail And there I find You in the mystery, In oceans deep my faith will stand … And I will call upon Your Name And keep my eyes above the waves, When oceans rise, My soul will rest in Your embrace, For I am Yours and You are mine … Your grace abounds in deepest waters, Your sovereign hand will be my guide, Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me, You've never failed and You won't start now … So I will call upon Your Name And keep my eyes above the waves, When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace, For I am Yours and You are mine, oh … And You are mine, oh … Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, Let me walk upon the waters, Wherever You would call me, Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander And my faith will be made stronger, In the presence of my Saviour.
Seek Him.
Seek Him First.
Seek Him in the good.
Seek Him in the bad.
Seek Him when life happens.
Seek Him in joy.
Seek Him in sadness.
Seek Him in every moment.
Seek God.
Seeking God first will always put us in the correct position and aim us in the right direction to move into the future God has for us.
We seek God and find Him! God is knowable, touchable, hearable, seeable, with the mind, the hands, the ears, and the eyes of the inner man.
''If We seek God for our own good and profit, we are not seeking God.''
God seeks us as eagerly as we seek God.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
