How do you know if you have stopped seeking God as your first treasure? For me, I just reverse Hebrews 11:6.
The real verse is this:
“Without faith it is impossible to please God. For those who would draw near to God must believe that He exists and rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”
But when reversed, I can see what has captured my heart.
“I believe success in ministry exists and it will reward me if I earnestly seek it.”
“I believe that people’s approval exists and it will reward me if I earnestly seek it.”
“I believe money will secure me and it will reward me if I earnestly seek it.”
Maybe for you:
“I believe Mr. Right or Ms. Right exists and will reward me if I earnest seek them.”
“I believe fulfillment through children exists, and it will reward me if I earnestly seek it.”
“I believe I can get God’s favor by my obedience, and my obedience will reward me if I earnestly seek it.”
For the essence of worship is not what we say, but what we seek.
