Episode #8 Earnestly seek him

Devotions & Word-Spirations with LaShanda Lewis

Hey guys thanks for joining me on this episode of devotions and word-spiration episode, Be blessed!

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

At the end of last week I was feeling super sick and well obviously we are in the midst of a pandemic so what’s the first thought most of us think when there is a tickle in our throat? Yep, we got the Rona! Although this is a real reality for some I didn’t know but I was worried. I found myself becoming overtaken by fear and The what if’s. Honestly, I had to make a choice, was I going to believe what Gods promises were over my life, or was I going to believe more in whatever I was dealing with? One of the things I recognized after calming down of course is that That spirit did not come from God because the bible says He doesn’t give us a Spirit of fear but promises us a sound mind.

So because my family and I were studying Hebrews 11:6 I couldn’t shake that it was impossible to please God without faith. Even in sickness my heart was to please God. After Praying I was reminded of how David played for saul many times to bring healing in his moments of turmoil. SO that’s exactly what I did. I asked my husband if he would so kindly be like David and play his piano over me while I worshipped and cast my cares at God’s feet and leaving it there.

How many times have you dealt with a situation that had you crippled with anxiety, fear or sickness? IT felt like the weight of the negative feelings were bigger and louder than what deep in your heart to be true. Sometimes life can be that way but we have to do like the word says and renew our mind with the Word.

I think a lot can be said for the way we see God in our situations and trusting in His word. I encourage you to pray and ask God

What areas in my life show signs of holes in my Faith?

What areas in my life have I not surrendered to you to fix?

Healing, increased faith or strength to keep fighting are some of the rewards he gives when we seek Him. I want you to remember that you are His and He loves you!
