2 Chronicles 31:21...Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a result, he was very successful.
There is something about seeking God wholeheartedly that really gets His attention and it always brings success.
Hebrews 11:6 reminds us He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. It doesn't say to seek the rewards but to seek Him, to seek His company, to not only obey what He says, but to just enjoy His company.
Psalm 16:11 ..... In Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever! Who wouldn't want to spend time with someone like that? So often we've been given a wrong impression of God and it's made us think we should be feeling guilty about something and need to get ourselves sorted out before we can come to Him!
The reverse is true. It's not about what we've done or not done but about what Jesus has done. God sees us as blameless because Jesus took all our shame and guilt, all our failings, shortcomings, weaknesses, and diseases. He sees us as holy and blameless when our trust is in Jesus sacrificing His life and His shed blood for us personally. So Jesus, Who is The Way, has made the way open now for us to enter God's lovely heartwarming presence any time with boldness.
God is a generous God with an overwhelming heart to bless us and He invites us daily to come and spend time with Him. I think we've all dashed in, put our list of needs on God's table, then dashed out again, thinking "Catch You later God", but He wants us to sit down with Him. His heart is for us to know how much He loves us and spend time soaking it up, letting Him reaffirm us and give us His confidence and assurance and remind us that all will be well.
Remember He wants to know we love Him too, because that's how a good relationship works!
Would you like success in life? Well may I make a suggestion? Schedule yourself some extra time in your busy day regularly, take a cuppa, a biscuit and your Bible, and spend some time seeking the Lord wholeheartedly with a sense of anticipation, and He'll show you His heart, His will and His way forward, and success will follow because He has promised to reward you and that is a 'Yes' promise in Jesus! Amen.
