AMOS 5:4

Well praise the lord. I want to apologize for not posting before this but I have not been able to get into post until today. I dont know what was wrong still tying to figure the computer out.Amos 5:4" For thus saith the Lord unto the house of IsreaL,SEEK YE ME,AND YE SHALL LIVE:look at what God our Father is saying to the house of Isreal about how to have life. He says seek me.I know that it says house of Isreal but what if God is also giving us insight to how to have the abundant life.Here is a question that you and I need to ask ourselves as we look into the mirror. How inportoant is it for me to seek God. Are we ever looking for that deep intimate relationship with god the Father. Webster defines the word seek like this. 1.To search for.
2.To solicit.
3.To have recourse to. Lets just take the first one to search for. What does a person do to search for something they really want. Most will pull out all the stops and go on quest to find what they are looking. They will develope a deep hunger for it and can not rest till they find it. I wonder how many of us have that same hunger for a deep relationship for God.Or do we only hunger for God when we are in trouble when things are going wrong. And then when He gets us out of the trouble how do we continue after Him. In this fast pace we live in today we just barely take time to say good morning to Him. Jesus told us in Matt. 6:33"But seek ye first the Kingdom of God,and his righteuosness;and all these things shall be added unto you.To live is not just getting by. Its about having a peace in the midst of the storms we face, its knowing that no matter what it looks like my God is always there. Listen to these words of Jesus as recorde in the 28th chapter of Matt.28:20"and lo,I am with you alway,even unto the end of the world. Jesus lets us know as we seek after the things of God we can rest assured that he is always with use we are never alone.Here the word of the Lord from Deuteronomy 4:29-30"But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God,thou shalt find him,if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
"When thou art in tribulation,and all things are come upon thee,even in the latter days,if thou turn to the Lord thy God and shall be obedient unto his voice. WE will not truly know how to be obedient to his voice if we are not willing to seek him with our whole heart and soul. If there ever was a time in the history of man that he needed to truly seek after the will of God it is know. God Bless you all. From Pastor Ken.
