Seek Him Always - From Joyce Meyer's Devotional

It was told Jehoshaphat, A great multitude has come against you … Then Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself [determinedly, as his vital need] to seek the Lord; he proclaimed a fast in all Judah. — 2 Chronicles 20:2-3

When King Jehoshaphat needed to hear from God, he proclaimed a fast throughout his entire kingdom of Judah. All the people gathered to seek the Lord for help, longing for Him with all their hearts.

Jehoshaphat proclaimed a fast to demonstrate his sincerity to God and his need for God. If you need to hear from God, consider missing a few meals and taking that time to seek God. Turning the television off and spending time with God instead of watching it is not a bad idea either, nor is spending a few evenings at home seeking God instead of going out with friends asking for their advice and opinions. These disciplines and others prove that you understand the importance of hearing from God.

Some people seek God earnestly only when they are in trouble, but we need to seek Him intensely all the time. God once impressed upon me that the reason so many people have so many problems is that the only time they seek Him is when they are in trouble. He showed me that if He removed some people’s problems, they would not seek Him at all. He said, “Seek Me as if you were desperate all the time and then you won’t find yourself desperate so often in reality.” I think this is good advice and I encourage you to follow it every day.

This is Why You Pray

We know nothing. Nothing about life, our life and especially about God's plan. He runs this universe and we are in it.

There are times when you think that He is distant from you but that shouldn't stop you from praying. Why? Because you never know what He is up to.

When the spirit comes over you, praise Him, worship Him, speak in tongues and just keep doing it until you are filled. Thank God for the time that you spend with Him. Your communing with Him is what protect you from evil, He blesses your going out and coming in, saves you when everyone else isn't. Your relationship with Him is what keeps you in His hand.

Think about it and remember that everything happens for a reason but God's love is for all seasons.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord! You are Good.
