Jeremiah 29:13 – 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
That statement doesn’t say when you halfway seek Me. It doesn’t say seek the parts you wish to find.
Both of those things happen in this world and the result is someone making God out to be something other than what He is according to His word.
Proverbs 15:4 – 14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
Today those who don’t know God tune into those who are teaching evolution and accepting it as scientific fact. They also look to others that want nothing to do with God. Yet they don’t seek God and the Word themselves.
God wants us to know Him! We do however; have to put some effort into it.
2 Timothy 2:15 – 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
Matthew 7:7-8 – 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
We are to seek the God of truth. We will diligently find God if we seek Him.
Too many people want God to be their own thing. They have an idea of what they want him to be and then they try to support that. Someone might say, “My God eats chocolate all day and wants me to also eat at least 3 pounds a week. Also He is a lover of bulldogs.” When someone else comes along and says, “Why do you believe that?” They just fire back that it’s what they believe and they are allowed to have an opinion like everyone else. In America today we are just supposed to respect others opinions, not to correct or seek truth.
God is real! There are laws to physics. There are absolutes. Positive thinking isn’t going to get you in the good graces of God. Why? Because God made the rules on what it takes to get back into His good graces. That would be Him sending His Son to die in our place. Accept Jesus as Lord and His sacrifice and know that He is God’s Son and that He and the Father are One and you will live.
Seek God!
Look if you want to be good at tennis, what do you do? You first seek on what it takes to be good and then practice, participate, and get good coaching.
If you want to be good at poker, what do you do? Start reading books by winners. Learn the odds. Practice and play and play.
If you want to be good manager at work, which is respected by his workers below him and the upper management, what does he do? He reads books. He finds role models of those who were successful before him. Treats others the way he would want to be treated.
If you want to have a great relationship with your Creator and God, seek Him! Read the Bible and books that are by those who read the Bible. We’re very fortunate to have that free ability, at least for the time being.
Seek God! David sought God. David was considered a man after God’s heart. Seek God!
