Micah 6:8 “He has told you, O man, what is good; And what
does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?” (NASB)
Hello,
Do you ever get caught up in your drive to know something
that it hits you later – is this what I am even supposed to be driving to know?
I know for myself that this happens to me sometimes with what God wants me to
do. It is easy (I doubt I am the only one) to put my focus and energy on my
actions I am looking to take – instead of just continuing to dig into His
character and person.
It starts with knowing Him and being obedient – and it never
moves from there.
We this with King Asa in the Old Testament as well “Asa did
good and right in the sight of the Lord his God, for he removed the
foreign altars and high places, tore down the sacred pillars,
cut down the Asherim, and commanded Judah to seek the Lord God
of their fathers and to observe the law and the commandment.” (2 Chronicles
14:2-4 NASB)
If we think about comparing the difference between focusing
on knowing God vs knowing His will, a careful look needs to be had at our
planned outcome. When we seek to know God, our outcome is (should be) obedience
out of love along with a greater amount of wisdom and discernment. When we seek
just His will, there is a trap that our outcome is rationale for taking our
desired actions and being in control. I am not saying that is always the case,
but it is a danger point we should be wary of.
I challenge all of us (starting with myself) to focus our
seeking on God – and letting the rest fall in place from there.
Have a blessed day,
