                   Seek Me

I am the Lord Your God,
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

Many are speaking glory,
many are telling about the glory 
I am releasing to My people
And I am...
I am releasing a season of glory and power in My church.

But the glory is not the goal--
I Am!
The glory is not the focus--
I Am!

I Am the goal;
I Am the focus.

Don't seek the glory, seek Me.
Seek Me, and the glory will find you.
Seek Me, and the glory will be yours.

Jesus, for the joy set before Him, endured the cross
Yes, He knew the joy was coming--
but His own glory was not the joy He was looking towards.  
The joy that made the cross possible for Him
was to be back with Me.
The joy was My presence--
My glory, not His own.

So don't seek the glitz, glamour and glory
They are not important--
I am!

The glitz, glamour and glory are byproducts, 
they are "little g's," little god's.
Why would you seek byproducts, when I am available?
Do not seek the "little g's"--seek Me.

I am the Lord your God, 
and you are to have no other gods before Me.
I am God.
Seek Me, for the sake of seeking Me.
And you will find I am More 
than you could ever imagine.
