Seek God for the City - Day 8 & 9,

If you would like to join this blog, scroll down on the right side and click "Join".



We are continuing to Seek God for the City, following this great plan laid out by Waymakers.  Our weekly focus continues to be praying through hope; revival of the church.  Under that umbrella, we are seeking God this week on behalf of the Americas and the Caribbean.  Yesterday and today, we are seeking God on behalf of those in arts & entertainment and women, and asking Him to renew our passion to worship , and to renew our hearts to obey Him.

The events of the last two days have made it difficult for me to get online; what an incredible thing to know that all of us were...are...still connected through the Holy Spirit and still seeking the same things through prayer...and still seeking God.  After all ... we're related.  

Two days ago, we discussed this passage:From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.  God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for Him and find him, though He is not far from each one of us.  ‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’  Acts 17: 26-28

Today, I want to focus on that last phrase:  "We are His offspring."  You.  Me.  People you go to church with.  Your neighbors.  Your parents.  Your kids. The folks on the radio.  Your pastor.  All God's children.

That means we are family, you and I.  And that God we are seeking, He's our Father.

Let's continue to seek.  There is stuff in the way, the enemy is trying to convince us we can't see, so let's keep seeking.

Just remember...He is our Father and He's not hiding.
