Seek More of God for Himself Alone

           By A. W. Tozer
 

          Don't you realize how patient he is being with you?
          Or don't you care?  Can't you see that he has been
          waiting all this atime without punishing you, to give
          you time to turn from your sin?  His kindness is
          meant to lead you to repentance.  -  Romans 2:4

                  Why should a man write and distribute a tract
          instructing us on - "How to Pray So God Will Send
          You the Money You Need"?

                  Any of us who have experienced a life and ministry
          of faith can tell how the Lord met our needs.  Surely we
          believe  that  God  can  send  money  to  His  believing
          children - but it becomes a pretty cheap thing to get
          excited about the money and fail to give the glory to Him
          who is the Giver!

                  So, many are busy "using" God. Use God to get a job!
          Use God to give us safety! Use God to give us peace of
          mind! Use God to obtain success in business! Use God to
          provide heaven at last!

                  Brethren, we ought to learn - and learn it very soon;
          that it is much better to have God first, and have God
          Himself, even if we have only a thin dime; than to have all
          the riches and all the influence in the world - and not have
          God with it!

                  John Wesley believed that men ought to seek God
          alone, because He is love. I think in our day we are in need
          of such an admonition as: "Seek more of God, and seek
          Him for Himself alone!"

                  If we become serious-minded about this,  we would
          soon discover that all of the gifts of God come along with
          the knowledge and the presence of God Himself.
