SEEK. DO. TEACH.

Short little update before I get into this blog post. I am currently working at a Christian camp called Hume at their branch in San Diego, California! With God calling me to camp ministry, it’s so cool to see camp in a whole new way! It’s crazy to me how different camps can be but yet communicate the same solid truth of Christ. When asked what she learned this past week, one middle school camper said, “Nothing is more vital in my life than my relationship with Jesus.” How amazing is that? She can carry that truth, a truth she learned here at camp, with her the rest of her life. And of course that’s just one story out of so, so many. Camp is incredible, y’all!

Okay, so what’s up with this “Seek. Do. Teach.” thing? Well, the stickers and t-shirts I’m selling to help raise money for this trip (hit me up if you’re interested) has the verse Ezra 7:10 on them.

“For Ezra had set his heart to seek the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.”

A few months back I was going through the book of Ezra for my quiet time with God. When I found this verse I was just in awe. He set his heart to seek the word, do the word, and teach the word. I thought to myself, “If I could just set my heart to do the same, man, I would be doing life right.” So for the past 2 ½ months I’ve tried to make that my goal. Wow, do I fail a lot. In all three of these areas I could definitely use some improvement. However, it still runs through my brain at least once a day, “Seek. Do. Teach.” Am I seeking the law of the Lord? Have I done my quiet time? Is the word of God something I thirst greatly for? Am I doing what the word tells me? Am I obedient in the things I know and am learning? Am I teaching what I’m learning? Am I sharing what God is doing in my life with those around me?

SEEK. DO. TEACH.

I want to be able to live out this verse well. I know that if I can start to put this into action not only will my relationship with God grow, but  I will be able to glorify my amazing creator so much better. And that’s the biggest and greatest goal in the end, glorifying God. He is all that matters.
