I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Proverbs 8:17

Many a young man with romance on his mind presented an engagement ring to his young woman on Valentine’s Day. Perhaps they’ve set a June wedding date. Now the time of preparation begins. Bridal counselors hand out detailed calendars for the bride-to-be and her bridesmaids to be fully prepared for the big day. In order for the “perfect wedding” reward, she must diligently adhere to the schedule.

You know, don’t you, that as a part of the Bride of Christ, you need to be eagerly and diligently preparing yourself for the One you love. Like the young woman learning everything about her intended and desiring to please only him, are you getting better acquainted with Jesus every day? Just as that same young woman wants to spend time with her love, do you desire to be alone with the Lord, to find a more intimate relationship with Him?

Seek the Lord while he may be found, the Bible says (Isaiah 55:6). He rewards those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). While you attend to your own bridal preparations for your heavenly wedding celebration, pray for the nation’s leaders to seek after the Lord for wisdom, grace and their salvation.
