Psalm 119:2
Blessed are those who keep his statues and seek him with
all their heart ~ Psalm 119:2
To seek God with all our heart is to come in diligence
searching for His mercy and love, for the sanctification of His grace, and His
indwelling presence. It is to desire the fullness of God within. To seek God is
to acknowledge that I have put myself aside, knowing that I am not enough, and
that I need Him above self. It is to deny my desires, my wants, so that I may
be filled with the One who grants my desires and fills my needs. To come “with all
my heart” is to come, not with a lukewarm “maybe I need you, Lord” but to come with
a definitive, parched soul searching for that which will fill it and in fact
leave it with an overflowing fulfillment. In this time of Lent, and as we draw
closer to the Easter Season, put aside your needless habits and come searching
for the Lord with all your heart. Come without delay! Seek to do His will and
to honour His ways. Then be filled with unspeakable joy and great peace, be
filled with the happiness of the Lord!
