{Abundantly You Inc…formerly Love and Grace Media}
In times of crises and despair there is no better plan than to seek the Lord. It is so crucial to our spiritual well being that if we relax in seeking God, we will always be in want. Seeking Christ daily is the best form of action that we can take to guarantee rest, peace and understanding.
Sometimes “seeking” doesn’t come easy. Sometimes you have to be strong.
Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. (Is 55:6 NIV)
At all times and with diligence seek all things relative to God and His Kingdom. Do so that you may live your life more abundantly and avoid all the snares hidden from your carnal view.
God reveals Himself in the most spectacular ways when we persevere in prayer, fasting, and worship. As we see more of God, we see the reflection of all that we truly can become.

Bakar & Find
“In Matthew 7:7 Messiah says, “Seek and you shall find.”
There is a real key here, a secret. In Hebrew/Aramaic, which He spoke, the word for seek is Bachar. This is not just a nice gentle word. Bachar is a heavy word, a violent word. Bachar means to plow, to turn over and to break forth.
God did not call us to seek the Lord, but to plow forward, overcome, turn over and do whatever you have to do to seek the Lord. True seeking is linked to plowing, you have to persevere. Sometimes it takes work, sometimes you feel like giving up, but you keep going.
The Lord causes our hearts to be plowed. He says, “Break up your fallow ground”. Get your life turning, seeking God and tuned to receive His blessings. Plow with breakthrough actions. You want to seek the Lord, you want the blessing, then seek him with all your heart and press. When it seems hard, you will break through. So if you want a breakthrough, break up your fallow ground and His blessings will reign upon you. Seek, plow and you shall find.
Seek to plow today, let God’s Word and Spirit have their way, and plow over the dormant, fallow ground in your life and walk.”
Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
