“Demanding & Pursuing A Mate”
Posted on March 1, 2013 by katherine
If you would stop breaking your neck trying to check out every person that goes by, snooping on every social media site, or going to extreme measures to find someone and start pursuing God more, then God will bring the person He has for you. God sees your hearts desires. I encourage you to line them up with His Word. Psalm 37:4, says, Delight yourself in the Lord, not delight yourself in trying to scour every church, singles group, or latest fling.. Get so close to God, that others see His heart in you. A lover of His Presence is what’s attractive to men & women of God.
In 1 Samuel 8, the people demanded a King- they got a King, but it wasn’t “The One” God really had for them. They insisted on having it their way. Are you demanding a spouse? Let me remind you, this isn’t Burger King, and you can’t have it your way! Let God be God!
And, what about when God told Samuel to go to Jesse’s house in Bethlehem because God had chosen one of his sons to be the next king. When Samuel arrives, they brought all of Jesse’s sons except one son, David, who was way out in the field tending to the sheep. I have to believe that David was out in the field tending sheep and worshiping God. I bet that is when he started writing all those Heavenly songs that he played later on his harp. God didn’t forget David and He won’t forget you. God knows where you are- perhaps you are out in the field working like David, and you feel you have been overlooked. Why not worship while you wait, like David did? You are Not Forgotten!
And, I have to say, perhaps, you have been looking on the outward appearance, but God is looking inwardly. Just as God told Samuel, “don’t look at his appearance or how tall he is for I look at his heart.” God says, Trust me, I have your best interest at heart, so keep your heart in tune with me while you wait!
Or, maybe, you have been watering the animals like Rebekah- God brought Isaac to her. I’m sure she was doing her normal every day routine, and God saw her faithfulness. God didn’t forget her & He’s not going to forget you. He knows your name & number, and most importantly, He doesn’t need your help!
So, give all this hustling and bustling a rest & relax. Keep doing what God has called you to do. God’s got the person for you. He’s probably waiting for you to stop actively looking & say, “God, you know the person & the plans you have for me & they are good.. I rest in the peace that only you can give and in your timing. Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary for your glory, and to continue doing what you have called me to do, until you bring my mate.” Let’s push onward and upward in Him.
We live, move, and have our being because of Him. So, we can trust Him even more now knowing He’s got us in the palm of His hands!
