Seeking Him

 All of life comes down to one thing:

who or what are you seeking?



Are you seeking self? Are you seeking riches?

Or perhaps, you are seeking first His kingdom and righteousness? Perhaps you are like David, a man (woman) after God's own heart?
Perhaps you are indeed seeking HIM.

Seeking Him is a 12-week Bible study written by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth and Tim Grissom. 
12 weeks of seeking God, seeking Him deeper, more abundantly. Seeking His heart and not His hand. Seeking to know and be known by Him.

Each week focuses on an aspect of God's character and how that looks not just on HIM but in our lives because as His creation we are to be image-bearers. To bear God's image is more than just appearance but it is in the fruit of our lives. 

The first week sets the foundation. Personal revival. We often think we need some white tent for revival but honestly, revival is a heart posture. You could be in the white tent but without the heart posture, you'll simply be a spectator rather than a participant.

Then, the weeks of the study flow into humility, honesty, repentance, forgiveness, grace, holiness, obedience, having a clear conscience, sexual purity (which starts at pursuing whole life purity), a spirit-filled life, and a life of personal devotion (one where your life is marked by devotion to God). 

These are foundational, maybe a bit out of order, as I would have not have limited purity to just sexual purity but whole life purity that is founded upon God's principles rather than simply sex because we do not want to scar people any further than "purity culture" already has.

Even with that hiccup, still a pretty solid book. And one worth studying through in your faith walk.

And as always, please note that I received a free copy of this book from the publisher, Moody Publishers, in exchange for my honest opinion.
