Seeking God´s Face...



"I lift up my eyes to the hills -
where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and eath.

He will not let your foot slip -
he who watches over you will not slumber."
Psa 121:1-3

I wanna take this moment (yes, in the midst of my studies...) and give you a few thoughts and inspirational scriptures...

A few thoughts on seeking God... It is just so stirred up in my spirit right now, of how amazing God is and how faithful He is and the importance of always taking time and seeking God, being in front of the throne in His presence... You know, we can always have excuses, not to put God first, not to take that time, but the truth is that if we don't cling on to God and remain in Him, we are up for a failure!

In my current situation - when the pressure is high of the "stress" of having to study and getting in all in my head - I am so thankful to God that in the midst of all that, I can take those moments with Him, and He gives me the strength and joy to keep on pressing on... I seriously don't know what I would do without Him!!!


It is not always about how much time you take, because sometimes we don't have the time to spend half of the day just being with God, if you know what I mean. But it is more the attitude of the heart and that you do life with God, not just take the time with Him... Yes, like in any relationship you need quality time, to sit down and talk and share, but that doesn't mean that you spend a whole day just talking... (yes occasionally) but like any other relationship, you "do life together", you eat together, you walk together, and so on...And that is the relationship God wants with us, that we don't walk around ignoring him all day, but that we continually are in fellowship with Him... How wonderful is the Holy Spirit!!!:-) And I think that it is this "every moment walk" with God that is so exciting, cause you can just talk with him while doing the dishes, cleaning, and even when you are studying and you´re frustrated!:-)


Walking with God makes you hunger more after Him... Like John Bevere says "What you feed on is what you hunger for". We need more of God everyday!!! And the good news is that there is ALWAYS more of Him!!! :-) Even all of eternity we will get to know God more and more!!! How exciting!!! :-) So yes, God is so good!!! We are nothing without Him!!! He is like the air that we breath, He is the water that satisfy our soul! How can we do anything but praise Him? (That was actually a few parts from my latest songs...:-) ) Well, anyways, I didn't mean to preach, but there you go...:-) Keep on seeking God´s face, cause when you seek Him, then all the rest will also fall into place!!! Praise God
