Intro:
What is God looking for? That may sound like a funny question, but it is important that we, as His children, be who He is looking for. Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with an encouraging word for your day. As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving next week, one thing we know God seeks is those who will operate in faith with a thankful heart, even before we see our prayers manifest. So be encouraged today, to be the one God is looking for.
Word for the Week: John 4:23 …..for God is seeking people who worship Him in spirit and in truth.
In the King James Version of the Bible, John 4: 23 is quoted like this: The Father seeketh such …..(KJV) which means looking for. Do you know that there are quite a few things that God is looking for on the earth? We’ll be talking about those this week. I am so thankful that although I was once lost, now I am found. Jesus came to seek and to save those who were lost (Luke 19:10) I’m thankful that when we seek His face, He will hear us and heal our land (II Chron 7:14). He tells us to seek Him first, and to seek His way, all the while He is seeking for us. Pretty amazing isn’t it! God is looking FOR me, and looking OUT FOR me!
A few of the things God is seeking for are people who are:
Worshippers
Full of Faith
In submission and understand authority
Thankful hearts full of gratitude
Faithful and consistent.
Sounds like God is looking for a few good men (and women!) Do you think He will find what He is looking for? Will he find that in you? I believe He will.
God is looking for worshippers who worship Him in spirit and in truth. God is seeking for people who put Him in the highest place, above all else. He is looking for men and women of faith who don’t just sit around or act as busy bodies, but those who really do what they say they believe. They put their faith into action, and understand our authority on the earth. He is looking for thankful hearts and faithfulness and consistency. Are you who God is looking for? I believe you are!
