Pursuing Holiness- Part 77

As we walk in Holiness, we will assign the highest priority to hearing and responding to FATHER on a daily basis!

FATHER has provided each of us with the blueprint to walk in HIS Glory.  In order to walk out HIS blueprint, we must seek the Divine at the center of our pursuits, asking for direction each morning.

Jesus instructed us in Matthew chapter 6:

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

As we walk in Holiness, we will seek HIM first daily.  Some people may claim that they are not an early morning person but that can change.  Prior to January of 1990, I was a “7 AM” kind of guy.  FATHER told me to start praying one hour before I went to work.  My response, “If you want me to go that, you will need to wake me up at 5 AM.”  HE did… every morning from that point on.  You can change too.

When you seek HIM early, you will be rewarded with HIS Wisdom.

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 3:

1 My child, if you truly want a long and satisfying life, never forget the things that I’ve taught you. Follow closely every Truth that I’ve given you. Then you will have a full, rewarding life.

3 Hold on to loyal Love and don’t let go, and be faithful to all that you’ve been taught. Let your life be shaped by integrity, with Truth written upon your heart.

4 That’s how you will find favor and understanding with both God and men—you will gain the reputation of living life well.

5 Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make.

6 Become intimate with HIM in whatever you do, and HE will lead you wherever you go.

7 Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for Wisdom comes when you adore Him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong.

8 Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for.

9 Glorify God with all your wealth, honoring Him with your firstfruits, with every increase that comes to you.

10 Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

When you seek HIM early and daily, you will develop an intimate relationship with HIM.  You will realize that your own opinions are worthless without HIS Wisdom and understanding guiding you in all aspects of your life.

Jesus further instructed us in Matthew chapter 6:

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.

10 Your Kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread (Your Word).

12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

We are to receive HIS Word each morning so that we can bring forth HIS Kingdom, first in our hearts, and then in the fruitfulness we produce.

What is YOUR purpose for me today, Lord?  What path am I to take today?  Our daily walk requires us to hear instructions at the beginning of the day.  By placing our trust in HIS Divine Wisdom, HE will bring forth the appropriate fruit each day and we will be a blessing to those we encounter.
