Seeking God

Quick thought...

I love those who love me, and those who SEEK me find me. Prov. 8:17 

You will SEEK me and find me when you SEEK me with all your heart. Jer. 29:13

Oh give thanks to the Lordcall upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who SEEK the Lord rejoice! SEEK the Lord and his strength; SEEK his presence continually! 1 Chr. 16:8-11

But SEEK first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matt. 6:33

What am I seeking? I don't like looking for things. I want to just find them. I have 'male pattern seeking syndrome'. I glance around quickly and if I don't see what I'm looking for, it's obviously not there. Unfortunately, I do the same with God. God isn't hiding like in Hide and Seek, but I don't seek Him with ALL MY HEART nor do I seek His presence CONTINUALLY and I don't always seek His kingdom FIRST. Usually it's last. 

My honest prayer is simple...God, reveal Yourself to me. I just want to see without seeking. 

Maybe I should try it God's way.
