Simply Seek God

I spend time talking to God, having conversations back and forth. This morning, I realized I was using God's responses as if He were a giant 8 ball.  Ya know what I'm talking about? The 8 ball that had the weird gel and cube in it that you asked questions, flipped it over, and got your answer? Well, that's kind of how I was handling God, and I was a bit convicted by it. I like to ask God questions, and I like when He gives me His answers, for the most part, but sometimes I find I'm seeking answers more than God.  Here's what I learned this morning. When asking questions of God, His response is so much more than an answer. The journey to the answer is more important than the final landing spot.  Meaning, when I ask God if something particular is going to happen, I need to focus more on the journey of getting to the particular ending. It's not the end that matters, it's the time spent with God getting there. I've learned so much more on the journey than I've learned at a destination. When I seek answers from God, I need to simply seek God, only then will I gain all that He intends for me.
