As the Youth of today we desire a lot of good things such as nice cars ,nice clothes ,nice hair etc.
These are all materialistic things... Are we desiring to have a close relationship with our King?
We are looking for validation and confirmation in these materialistic things because if people see us they will appreciate us or respect us more due to the things we acquire.
What is desire?
Desire is where you have a strong feeling or wish for something. This is where you are hoping for this wish to be fulfilled.
Let me burst your bubble. The bible says in Matthew 6:33 ''Seek ye the Kingdom of God first''
Therefore, whatever desire you have needs to be put on hold for a second because God's will needs to be your desire. In Psalms 42:1 ''As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee'' Your soul needs to panth for the Lord. You need to come to a place where you are fully assured that even though you may not have all these materialistic things as long as you are rooted in Christ you are fine.
God desires to have a relationship with each and everyone of us if we let him. But how can you see God looking at you and desiring that relationship with you if you are looking at other things but God. God's will for your life will add all of these things. All these things that we are looking for God's says it's just an added bonus. We need to make sure that we are right with God and stand in him in order for him to add the bonus. How can I work in Debenhams and expect to get my salary from Tesco if I haven't worked hard for it? The moment you sow in the house of God, desiring to serve him. Desiring to get closer to him by attending fellowship meetings etc. He sees all of this and will reward you accordingly. He wants you to come back to the heart of worship.....
In our Generation it's hard to focus on God sometimes because the distraction is on a high level.
But if you know where he has brough you from. You won't hesitate when it comes to serving God.
You don't want to be a part-time Christian and come to God whenever you feel like it. God knows you are longing for that relationship with him, however you are getting distracted by the wrong things. You are wandering off when there is a clear sign to the path of righteousness...I would like to plead with you to desire the things of God... for a lot of things in the world will lead to attraction but this particular attraction will eventually lead to destruction.
