song 10. Seek. by Johnny Levy. it's good. really good. and convicting me in a huge way...

seek 

seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness 

seek and you shall find

knock and the door shall be opened

ask and it shall be given 

and I'm not talking about Sunday morning seeking

or just when I'm desperate seeking 

or when I find the time seeking 

but a lifestyle of persistence

a poor widow begging daily for justice

I'm talking about seeking like you just got poisoned and have 24 hours to find the antidote 

hard seeking

tear soaked seeking

fist clenched seeking

hands out stretched seeking 

read it again.
what does my seeking look like? it's pretty lame seeking...
how easily do i let "when i find the time" be my excuse? or when i'm desperate?
a lifestyle of persistence. that is what i desire! 

Lord, thank You for these words, for this conviction.
i want to seek hard after You. to see Your face. to know Your will.
let my seeking be tear-soaked and fist clenched. hard seeking.
i want to lean into You. rest in Your truth. not in my finite idea of time and what i need to accomplish.
praying that hard seeking becomes my lifestyle. i can only do that in Your strength.
give my strength. and desire. and deep conviction. everyday conviction.
everyday seeking.
