Reading: Psalm 34:4-6, 10, 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. 6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. 10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
Just take a minute and think through your morning routine. What do you normally seek out? Morning coffee? Breakfast? The newspaper? The news? In the evenings and weekends, what do you seek out? Sports games? Computer games? Spending time with friends? Your favorite TV shows?
What do you seek out?
Think through your typical day or week. What could you not do without (certain foods/snacks, certain activity, certain TV show, etc.)?
How often do you seek Christ through the day?
I wonder if you would miss time spent with God or be as disappointed as you would the TV show or sports game that you did not DVR or forgot to watch. Reread the verses above; notice, we tend to focus and desire the benefits listed, deliver us from all our fears, never be ashamed, saved from all our troubles and don’t lack anything. But, the question is, how passionately do you seek Him? How passionately do you desire to spend time with Him? How much do you miss Him when you have not taken the opportunity to spend time with Him? The way we should be treating our day is as a child in Disneyland with people all around and the sense of urgency when they are not able to see their parents visibly coupled with the nervousness of being “lost” without their parents. That should be our constant walk with God today.
Challenge: Seek God today, all day long. Long to hear from Him.
REVIEW
How did you seek God today?
Were you able to maintain seeking Him all day long and how did it impact your day?

As I was doing some winter pruning in the back yard yesterday, I realized just how blessed I am. Up on the ladder as I was pruning the tree looked pretty hacked up. But come this spring it will produce wonderfully. We are like that. We cannott produce fragrant flowers or delicious fruit unless God trims us here and there. By giving up some t.v. or routine that we have, we can let God speak to us and be in a position to listen to that small,faint voice.
