This week we join Lysa TerKeurst in chapter 15 of "Becoming More than a Good Bible Study Girl." The chapter is titled, "A Glorious Sense of Possibility," and as I read her words I am reminded of the limitless possibility of our God!
Lysa writes, "The Bible tells us, 'God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God' (Psalm 53:2).
Seek as defined by the dictionary literally means, 'to go in search of, to try to find or discover, to attempt, to ask for.' It is a word rich with activity and a questlike attitude. To seek God means to actively look for Him and anticipate His activity in everything.
That's why rereading of Psalm 53:2 breaks my heart. I wish the verse said, 'God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see the many who understand, the many who seek God.' But the word is 'any,' not 'many.' Which gives me a clue that those who understand and seek God are a rare few."
Read the verse again. What does God say to your heart? Is He calling you to be one who seeks Him? My friend, I believe He is. He is looking down and longing for me, and for you, to understand Him and seek Him.
Ladies will you commit with me to seeking God more today than you did yesterday? No matter where you are; He is there!! (Psalm 139:10) Look for Him and He will make Himself known!
What blessings does God provide when you seek HIM?? I pray today you are encouraged by the glorious sense of possibility our God provides!!

I am so blessed when I actively seek God. I am filled with peace and hope. I have a wonderful sense of possibility...in what God can do through me and in others, despite circumstances, weaknesses or insecurities. When I am actively seeking Him (looking for Him) I see Him...in everything! He makes Himself; His greatness, His faithfulness known to me. Then, I am able to share His peace, hope and love with others. Soooo cool!!
ReplyDeleteI heard this quote recently, "Some things have to be believed to be seen." Amen!
Thank you for sharing this, Jill. I read Lysa's book, but I can never be reminded enough of these truths. I pray that the others who read this will be encouraged to believe in the possibilites!!
