The power of seeking God isn't just in the act itself, but in how we seek Him. Are you a casual seeker who prays when convenient, or a diligent seeker who rearranges life to make space for divine encounter? This distinction makes all the difference in your spiritual journey.
Diving into Hebrews 11:6, we explore the profound promise that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. Not half-heartedly, not occasionally, but diligently—with persistence and passion. This truth echoes throughout Scripture, particularly in Jeremiah 29:13, where God promises we'll find Him when we seek with our whole hearts. Like a miner who doesn't stop digging after the first few shovels, diligent seeking requires persistence that pushes past surface-level spirituality.
Hannah's story from 1 Samuel provides a powerful example of diligent seeking in action. Her persistent prayers—so intense that Eli thought she was drunk—moved God's heart and resulted in the birth of Samuel, whose life transformed a nation. Her example teaches us that diligent seeking involves consistent prayer, depth in God's Word, strategic fasting, pushing past feelings, and pursuing God's presence rather than just His blessings. When we approach God with this level of intentionality, we don't just draw closer to Him—we position ourselves to receive His promises in unprecedented ways.
