'Seeking the mind of God'

Good Morning Everyone,
Can you believe that it is Wednesday already? Can you believe that it is May 22nd already? What happened to March and April.. I feel like Rip Van Winkle.. That is the fella who slept for so long isn’t it?? You young people had better enjoy and savor every moment because you are like a roller coaster starting out on the up hill climb.. Just going so slow but then you reach middle age and you crest the top and start picking up speed and when you reach my age, your on the down hill side of that roller coaster, going 90 miles an hour and wondering where the time has gone..
Well, had a bad day yesterday. Spent most all day in the ole easy chair and slept there last night too.. Connie girl is babysitting again in Bowling Green and Dianne mowed the yard down at her trailer.. Didn’t seem to accomplish much.. Only a dizzy spell or two but didn’t pass out.. But this morning I feel better and ready to tackle that ole bus again, I think.. LOL Still on the first cup of coffee.. Don’t even ask me where we are going with this today. I haven’t a clue and if the Lord doesn’t step in here shortly and bail me out I guess I am done.. ((smile)) hmmmm, be right back.. I’m gonna get a cup of coffee and ask the Lord what He wants me to do..
I’m back. It may have only been a second for you but an hour has passed for me. (smile) Took little Panda Bear out on the back porch. I drank my coffee and watched her run as I was seeking the mind of God for today’s activities and this thought for today. That dog snores louder than I do when she is asleep if you can believe that. LOL Panda is a Boston Terrier and she has found that even though the rabbits in the back yard are the same size as she is, they’ll run when chased.. So she romped and chased them all out of the yard and now it looks like I am going to have to add washing the dog to my agenda for today..
The sun is shining but cool outside. The ducks are quacking, the horses are nickering, and the rooster is crowing. A beautiful day indeed, here at the Bar-K-Ranch. Oh yea, we have a new baby Appaloosa filly.. I don’t believe that I had told you that yet. She is beautiful but wobbly as all baby horses are.. She is light brown with little white specks over her butt. She has two black socks of the front legs and two white socks on the back. She also has a white star in her forehead and a white snip on her nose.. Now all of this came to me while seeking the mind of God. Amazing!
Deuteronomy 4: 29
[29] But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
2 Chronicles 15: 2
[1] And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:[2] And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.[3] Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.[4] But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
Hebrews 11: 6
[6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
As children of God we must seek Him in all things. Not just on Sunday but every day of the week. Not just when we are in trouble but in the little daily things we pursue. Seeking God when you are at work, doing the dishes, mowing the lawn, washing the car, or drinking coffee on the back porch while watching the dog chase rabbits out of the yard.. Seeking Him first in all things. Not only when our health is failing but when we are in the prime of life and physically fit.
As individual citizens of this great nation we should seek His guidance as we pray for our leaders. Not only after a tragedy such a 911 but every day in everything should we seek Him. Have you failed in seeking God as you should? I must confess that I have. Seeking God should be first and foremost in our minds, in our daily activities, and in our daily walk with Him.. Would you like having God’s blessings in all that you do? Then seek Him first. I am personally going to try harder to seek the mind of God for each day. And what about you? Will you join in with me? I believe that together, seeking the mind of God, not only will make a difference in our lives as individuals but as a nation as well.... Thank you Jesus, for today’s thought.. Well Glory!
