Here’s a verse my dad really appreciated. He often used it to prepare his heart for communion on Sunday morning. Ezra 7:10 says, “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.”

Do you take time to prepare your heart to seek the Lord? That means we have to be intentional, and not allow other things to distract us. Think of David. Psalm 27:4 says, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek…”

David was a seeker. God called him a man after His own heart. I used to think that meant that he was like the Lord’s heart. Yet, we might also consider that he was in pursuit of God’s heart. 

Hebrews 11:6 says, “…for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” In Psalm 27:8 David wrote, “When You said, Seek My face, my heart said to You, Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
