We’ve 40 day fast over lent we should seek the Lord. But I still haven’t gotten around to discussing how we can. As I mentioned earlier, “I guess I always thought it meant “pray longer” maybe even “pray louder”. Of course it meant to fast…”

But what does the Bible say about it. I know I’m ticking off some Bible scholars because I pull verses out of context and don’t discuss the nuances of the original language. In my defense, this is a blog, not a commentary. I do study the verses in their original context, to their original readers, keeping what the early church and later commentators taught in the forefront of my thought, and always looking through the lens of the cross.

So even though it looks like I’m proof-texting, I’m really not as much as some of you assume.

Where did that tirade come from? Oh yes, I’m about to show you how you can seek the Lord.

How to Seek the Lord

• Keep your tongue from evil, Turn from evil, Do good, Seek peace and pursue it (Psalms 34:12-16)
• Cast your cares upon the Lord (Psalm 55:22)
• Forsake evil ways and thoughts (Isaiah 55:6-7)
• Have clean hands, Pure heart, Don’t lift your soul to idols, Don’t swear by what is false (Isaiah 24:4-6)
• Serve God with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind (1 Chronicles 28:9)
• Call upon God and pray to him (Jeremiah 29:12-14a)

This isn’t a definitive list, but I found there’s much more to seeking God than “praying louder and longer” or “fasting”. When we study about fasting, we see it’s not the act it’s the attitude that gets our Fathers attention (Isaiah 58).

Seeking God is about 40 day fast over lent. I’m organizing a 40 day fast over lent, but this can’t be an event, it needs to be a lifestyle. The 40 days is to help get us into the habit of seeking the Lord.

He will be found.
