Psalm 73:25-26
Every one of us would agree about how our desire should be
for God and not for the things of this world.
However, if we honestly took a daily look at our lives from a distance,
we would most likely see a difference from what we desire and how we really
live.
It is truly my desire each day to make God number one and to
serve Him with all my heart in whatever the day may bring. Even though my honest desire is to seek Him,
there are many different distractions that seem to catch my attention as I go
about my day. I find it difficult to
keep my attention often on growing with God.
It is easy for me to get caught up in daily preparations that I
completely miss out on just stopping for a while to see something God wants me
to focus on and meditate on.
We all experience challenges all through our day. I hope and pray that this passage will
encourage you to be strong in your daily desire to seek God with all your
heart. We are bombarded with needs and
demands at work, at home and other various things we are involved with. We must remember that our number one desire,
above all other things, should be to make God priority and our heart’s desire
to serve. If anything else is more
important than desiring Him, then a priority check is in order.
From the time we get up in the morning to the time we lay our head on the pillow at night, Satan is working hard to pull you away from your desire and focus in serving God in any possible way he can. He will not stop or rest in getting you to forsake that desire. He wants to put anything possible in your way to lure you and entice you to fall from walking with God. However, the more we desire Him and the stronger we become in our relationship with Him, the less impact Satan has on us.
Honestly ask yourself the question again, "Is He your true desire?"
