Wasted words of little truth

The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

Psalm 34.10

We complain that we do not have but we do not seek. We go after God in a halfhearted manner, rarely giving him the whole of our heart and pursuing him with the sort of vigour we give to other stuff, and then turn round and blame God for making life hard and not providing us with any good things. We do not have because we do not seek. We are not to be like young lions, with a fierce appetite and no source of satisfaction, but to be those who know intimately the good gifts of a loving father. We are not to give God half a chance and then blame all our troubles on him, but to give him everything and gaze in wonder at the riches he freely pours on us. We cannot claim to be seeking God if we are not looking for him in his word and in prayer; it's like claiming to be playing hide and seek but our feet never leaving our counting point. Only wasted words of little truth. To seek God is to treasure him. To pursue him as if he truly is the beginning and the end, all that matters in this world and the next. To gladly give to him the best of all our time, knowing it is but a shadow of what he deserves. Our hearts show what we seek. Am I desperate for God? Am I longing for him? If I'm not and i want to, it is only his word and prayer that will change my heart. Everything else is just wasted words of little truth.
