AMAREL - It means "The Message or Word of God"

People are looking for many things these days.
They long for wealth, security, a nice house,
a good marriage, kids, etc.
Or maybe its the longing for a new car or truck,
lots of "toys" - boats, 4-wheelers, cycles, campers,
a fancy vacation, and much more.

The old saying, "The grass is always greener
on the other side of the fence."
catches many people off-guard.
They look across the fence
and somehow what their neighbor has
always seems better than what they have.

There's a longing inside of us that cries out be be filled.
We try many things in the effort to satisfy ourselves.
Yet most things leave us still longing,
still searching for something more.
We somehow have come to believe
that if we have all these things others will "like us".

Having "been there and done that"
I understand the longings.
I understand the emptiness that remains.
And others don't like us any better
because of the things we have or the stuff we do.
So we keep searching...

There is one area where our searching does discover
an entirely different sense of meaning and value.
It's in the area of relationships.
But it's a different type of relationship.
It's a personal experience of the love and acceptance
that's only offered by one being - the one we call God.
He longs to have a relationship with you.
And He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him.
When that happens everything in your life can change.

However, there's something you need to do
- a choice you need to make
- before this can happen.
You must decide to seek Him
- with every ounce of your being!
 ntil you decide to do that
it's not likely you'll ever discover
the wondrous things that are available to you.
The void in your life will remain.
Your search for "happiness" will drag on and on.
Life will continue to be “a bummer”.

Below are some Scripture verses that speak to this issue.
They're presented as a means of helping you discover
what it really means to seek YAHWEH (God).
Among them is His promise
that when you seek Him with all your heart
you will find Him! (Deut. 4.29)

Like so much we encounter in life,
only those areas where we're willing
to expend significant personal effort
will ever result in anything worthwhile.
Seldom is anything simply "dumped in our lap".

The real question is, "What are your real priorities?"

There are a number of Scripture verses presented.
It's certainly not an exhaustive list, but there's a lot here.
I hope you'll take the time to read them - carefully.
Give some serious thought to what you're reading.
These are not "fluff".
When The Creator speaks
you can count on the fact that the message is most serious.

to the men of Yahudah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and unto all Yisra’el, that are near, and that are far off,
through all the countries where You have driven them

From The New Covenant

John 5:30:  (The Messiah speaking)
I am not able of Myself to do even one thing.
Just as I hear, I judge.
And My judgment is just,
because I do not seek My own desire,
but rather, the desire of The Father Who has sent Me. 

John 6:26-27:  YAHUSHUA responded to them and said,
“Most assuredly I say to you, you seek Me,
not because you were seeing the miracles,
but rather, because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied.
27 Do not labor for the food which perishes,
but instead, for the food which remains into Eternal Life,
which The Son of Man will give to you,
because YAHWEH, The Father, has sealed Him.”

John 7:33-34:  Accordingly, YAHUSHUA said to them
“I am with you a little while longer.
Yet I am going to Him who has sent Me.
34 You will seek for Me yet will not find Me.
And where I exist you are not able to come.”

John 8:21:  Then YAHUSHUA said to them once more,
“I am going away. And you will be seeking Me,
yet you will die in your sin.
Where I am going you are not able to come.”

Matt 6:31-34: Therefore do not be anxious, saying,
“What will we eat?’
or “What will we drink?’
or ‘What will we wear?’
32 because after all these things the Gentiles seek.
Indeed your Heavenly Father understands
that you need all these things.
33 But seek FIRST
The Kingdom of YAHWEH and His justification,
and all these things will be added to you.
 4 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow,
because tomorrow will be anxious about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own evil.

Matt 7:7-8:  Ask and it will be given to you.
Seek and you will find.
Knock and it will be opened up to you.
8 Indeed, everyone who asks receives,
and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Matt 28:5-6:  But the messenger responded, saying to the women,
“Do not be afraid!
Indeed, I understand that you seek YAHUSHUA
Who was crucified.
6 He is not here.
Indeed, He has been raised up just as He said.
Come here! See the place where The Master laid!

Mark 1:36-37:  And Simon and those with Him searched for Him.
37 And having found Him they said to Him,
“Everyone is seeking for You.”

Mark 16:6:  Then he said to them,
“Do not be utterly astonished!
You seek YAHUSHUA of Nazareth, Who was crucified.
He has been raised up!
He is not here.
Behold!
The place where they had laid Him.

Luke 12:29-31:  And do not seek what you eat
or what you drink
nor be of doubtful mind.
30 Indeed, all these things the tribes of the world seek.
Now your Father understands that you need these things.
 31 Instead, seek The Kingdom of YAHWEH
 and all these things will be added to you.

Luke 17:33:  If anyone seeks to save his life
he will fully destroy it.
And if anyone fully destroys his life
he will preserve it.

Acts 17:27: so that they might be seeking YAHWEH,
if perhaps they might touch Him and find Him.
And yet, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
28 because in Him we live, and move, and have our being,

Heb 11:6:  Indeed, without faith one is not able
to please Him entirely,
because he who is approaching YAHWEH
must have believe that He exists,
and is a compensator of those
who are diligently seeking Him.

Phil 2:21:  because all of them
are seeking things for themselves,
not the things of The Messiah, YAHUSHUA.

Col 3:1-4:  Therefore,
if you have been raised up with The Messiah,
seek those things which are above,
where The Messiah is,
sitting at the right hand of YAHWEH!
2 Set your mind on that which is above,
not on that which is upon the earth!
3 Indeed, you have died,
and your life is concealed with The Messiah in YAHWEH.
4 When The Messiah, our life, is rendered apparent
then you also will have been rendered apparent with Him in glory.

Getting your priorities right
makes all the difference in the world.
When you decide to seek YAHWEH, and His Son, YAHUSHUA,
with everything that is in you,
then you will find that elusive thing
you've been looking for all your life.
May YAHWEH bless you with the wisdom to take this pathway to Him.
