In the Book of 2 Chronicles 15:12, it states "And they entered into a covenant to seek The Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul." Honestly, that whole chapter is a great read, but let's focus on that one verse. They entered into a covenant with God. In the natural sense the only way we can enter is if we are allowed in. That door of opportunity however, is not one that is ever closed. That is God's desire for us to commune with Him. Only reason we are unable to do so is because of disbelief. Them entering is not so much of God opening the door, but them opening the door to let God in which in turn allowed them to seek Him. Deep huh? See God is so deep that us letting Him in is allowing Him to let us into the knowledge of Who He Is. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. So we got the entered part. Now, they entered into a covenant. What is a covenant? A covenant is a sacred commitment in simple terms. They made a vow to The Lord that they will seek Him with all that they have. There was a need that had to be met and they were not going to leave their position until God revealed Himself. In order to seek God we must be still. God wanted to know He had their complete and undivided attention because they had some little gods before Him at first which we do as well if we are honest. He is not going to compete with anyone or anything that HE created. Why should He? In order for us to gain God's attention He must have ours. You want Him to bless you while you are paying more attention to your father, cousin, car, job, money, etc? All of this goes back to the word relationship. He waited on them to be serious about their relationship with Him and once they gave themselves totally over to Him that's when their lives were blessed beyond measures. What gods are you putting before Him? When was the last time you sought after Him with ALL that you have? All God wants is YOU. Can you give yourself to Him?

With all of me
Hey party people! We are going to switch it up this week with a little something different. Instead of just a Word shared through writing, we will give a meditation scripture with a brief Word and also a song that highlights what is shared through the scripture and short message. Music is powerful and one would be surprised the peace and encouragement it can bring to any situation. So now that you know the changes I can get to The Word.
