Seek and be hungry for the presence of God

Text: Proverbs 27:7, Leviticis 9:6, 2 Chronicles 12:14

Our text says if we are hungry for God(focus our attention on God and His Word and look away friom our challenges), bitter things in our lives will be turned to sweet.When we obey God's command , the glory of God will appear to us(Leviticus 9:6)
Rehoboam in 2 Chronicles 12:14 did evil because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord. Until we make up our minds and consciously , moment by moment prepare our heart to seek the Lord, we will fall into sinful habits.(Amos 4:12)

Therefore God requests us to give him our hearts.(Proverbs 23:26).God is the preparer of our hearts(Proverbs 16:1), but it is our responsibility to voluntarily and willingly give God our hearts so that He can prepare it to be a good ground ready for harvest of blessings.

One of the principal ways of doing this is by singing psalms and praises, worshipping God and giving thanks and making melody in our hearts. The gates of heaven and the court of heaven require singing songs of thanksgiving and praises to open them.(Psalm 100:1-4)

God bless you as you engage your heart in this season of thanksgiving-Jeremiah 30:19a harvest of blessings will be your portion by the power in the blood of Jesus in Jesus Name, Amen.
