Seek the Lord and Promise to Keep

I am always looking for answers. It is in my nature.

“⁶⁴The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!” – Psalm 119:64 (ESV)

Well there you go, maybe I should be looking in the right place for those answers. I struggle with relying on myself to get me through as I am impatient with the darker seasons I find myself in. With my nature of always looking for answers I need only to look to God for those answers and seek out His will, direction, and ways of going about things.

It sounds easy enough, right? For me it certainly is not easy. I have the struggle before me and I am drawn to only seeing the struggle. I have to do a better, more conscious job of seeking the Lord in all situations and dive into His Word to find the answers He wants me to find.

Once I find those answers I should be leaning on the following:

“⁵⁷The Lord is my portion; I promise to keep your words.” – Psalm 119:57 (ESV)

The Lord is all I need. Once I have received His guidance, I should be promising to keep His Word in all situations. God is faithful to us with His love and therefore we owe it to Him to be faithful in return.

When faced with hardship, where are you turning for answers? Are you looking to get through it alone or looking to God for the answers? Once provided by God, are you promising to keep His Word?
