Seeking Him!

You can fill your life with every desire of your flesh, but what are you seeking that will outlast this life?

David prayed this prayer!

Psalm 27:4
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Jesus spoke to the people about the importance of seeking what will live into eternity — Him, and His Kingdom!

Matthew 6:31-33
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

He is telling you that if you put seeking Him first, He will see that all your needs are met here on this earth!

The woman came to the well seeking to fulfill the physical need for water, but Jesus told her about a need she didn’t know she had, a need for His Living Water; Water only He could provide!

She could drink of this Living Water and never thirst again! It would become a well springing up into everlasting life for her!

John 4:7,10-15
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

[10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of Him, and He would have given thee Living Water.

The woman saith unto Him, Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast Thou that Living Water? Art Thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the Water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the Water that I shall give him shall be in him a Well of Water springing up into everlasting Life.

The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this Water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Beloved, what are you seeking? Is your heart set on earthly possessions, and only physical needs, or are you seeking things that will last into eternity; things that truly satisfy and bring life? Have you sought the LORD, and His Living Water?

Matthew 6:19-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

One of my Mom’s favorite songs was called, ‘Fill My Cup’, it told the story of the woman Jesus spoke with at the well. Read the lyrics below!

‘Like the woman at the well I was seeking; For things that could not satisfy; And then I heard my Savior speaking: “Draw from my well that never shall run dry.”

‘Fill my cup LORD, I lift it up, LORD! Come and quench this thirsting of my soul; Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more; Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!’

Seek Him today!

Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.

Psalm 27:8
When Thou saidst, Seek ye My face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Psalm 63:1
O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.
