Earnestly

Posted byJARossPosted inUncategorized

Ezra 8:23 So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.

I haven’t changed since the days of Ezra. If you – if your people – would fast and earnestly seek me, I will answer. Earnestly. That is the key. Not just seek me in those moments that life is impossibly difficult, or scary, or when you believe you will lose everything. Not just when you can’t handle life on your own. Not just when you need me to save you. Those are wrong motives. At those times, you seek me to help yourself. Earnestly seeking me means seeking to know me, to obey me, to please me. Earnestly seeking me means seeking a relationship with me. Ongoing. Daily. Growing. Deepening. When you seek me in this way I will answer.

I love the Lord. I love my Country. I read His Word and write any message I may receive. These posts are those messages, which I obediently publish here. Many of these messages speak directly to our current political and social conditions. I pray that these words will speak to you as they have to me - admonishing, encouraging, guiding, informing, strengthening your faith.
