Previous Episode: Episode 001: Seeking Holiness Through the Hectic

Next Episode: MiniSode 1.c: Pursuing Him: Strengthening a real and meaningful relationship with Christ in turbulent times

In order to seek holiness, we first explore the character of God and in that process we begin to love Him because He first loved us.

We’ve titled this episode: “Seeking Holiness Through the Hectic” which is such an accurate fit, as these days women of all ages and circumstances are executing task after task - small and great - amongst a sea of busyness.

Life, at times, can become so overwhelmingly jam-packed with activities and responsibilities. So much so that enjoying God’s presence, time in His word, and in prayer can end up playing second base, the supporting role, or they’re placed on the back burner.

Today we’re going to discuss the character of God - one attribute in particular, why we would want to meet with Him and how we get to a place where we desire to know Him...where we’re not having to force it.

Therefore ladies, by the end of this episode we’re hopeful that you’ll be encouraged and compelled to pursue the Lord in ways that are real and applicable to you.

Each one of us have work to do in God’s Kingdom. WILL our work in the Lord flow from a forced and spiritually-famished framework or from a rested and real relationship with God?

Lyrics to Keith Green's "Until That Final Day"

My flesh is tired of seeking God
But on my knees I'll stay
I want to be a pleasing child
Until that final day

My mind is full of many thoughts
That clutter and confuse
But standing firm, I will prevail
In faith that I'll be used

Amen! I'm asking once again
Won't you help me my friend, Lord Jesus
Holy Lord Spirit, set us free
From chains we cannot see
Come release us

I wrestle not with flesh and blood
My fight is with the one
Who lost the keys of hell and death
To God's most precious son

One sleepless night of anguished prayer
I triumphed over sin
One battle in the Holy war
God's promised me to win
