“Live to please God, and He will breathe on thee His peace. Seek His glory, and He will make thy heart His home. Do His will, and thereby good shall come to thee.” — F. B. Meyer

1 Chronicles 16:8-12 NKJV 8 ​​Oh, give thanks to the LORD! ​​Call upon His name; ​​Make known His deeds among the peoples! 9 ​​Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; ​​Talk of all His wondrous works! 10 ​​Glory in His holy name; ​​Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! 11 ​​Seek the LORD and His strength; ​​Seek His face evermore! 12 ​​Remember His marvelous works which He has done, ​​His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, 13 ​​O seed of Israel His servant, ​​You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

Hebrews 12:28 NLT  Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. 29 For our God is a devouring fire.

Matthew 6:33 NLT  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

A simple recipe for abundant living: Seek God. Give Him Thanks. Do His Will. Worship Him. Tell Others About Him. Rejoice In Him.  Then Receive In Faith From Him.

Makes sense?  I pray so.

Father God we thank you for being there for us.  You have made yourself available for us to find you.  You have made a way for us to get back to your presence through Jesus.  And you have given us and empowered us to live rightly before you and in you. No matter how we look at it, all that we have, all that we are, all that we are to become, is because of your gracious mercy and love.  It is only in you that we are complete.  It is only in you that we have joy and peace.  It is only in you that we find the answers to the questions that our souls have been asking: Who are we and why are we here?  You are who we are created in the image of.  You are who our character is being molded to resemble.  And to love and worship you is why we are here.  Father we praise you and glorify your Holy Name.  Thank you for the ability to seek you, thank you, do your Will, worship you, share your love with others, rejoice in you and to receive all that you have prepared and promised us.  We are humbled before you and exist to serve and honor you.  Thank you for this day.  Thank you for forgiving us of our doubts and fears.  Thank you for hearing our cries and overlooking our moaning and complaining.  Thank you for holding us in the comfort of your loving arms.  Thank you for picking us up when we stumble and fall.  Thank you for healing the hurts and restoring what we have lost or what was stolen.  Most importantly, thank you for you.  It is in Jesus name we pray, Amen.
