Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. -Psalm 105:4(NLT)
WHEN YOU SEARCH AND SEEK GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have a heart that searches to know the Lord?
Do your priorities include seeking God’s word?
When you search for him, you will know him
When you seek him first, you will win over sin.
Whenever you give your loyalty to our faithful God
You will have life, harvest his Spirit’s fruit and be glad
When you seek his truth, you will be set free
When you search for him, he will make you see.

The trouble with our world today is that we don’t even know our priorities or if we do, they are based on our human desires. No wonder we live in chaos and confusion. How do we live a life of clarity and peace? So many different religions offer many different ways to achieve such happiness. In God’s economy, we are commanded to seek him first and everything will be given to us. Christianity does not offer a fixed answer to trials and sufferings. God gave us his son Jesus to redeem us from the corrupt world we live. He did this by being born among us and experiencing the deepest and gravest kind of persecution, pain and death. He sampled us a man who, even though he was God did nothing to prove it. He prioritized God’s will over his.
