7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Jeremiah 29:12-13
12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
- In general, what do you ask God for?
- What do you seek?
- How diligently do you seek God in your daily life?
- How can you find God in your life if you choose to not seek him?
- What doors do you want opened?
I heard The Who's The Seeker the other day at a restaurant. It is about a person seeking to find something meaningful in his life. I mused yesterday that perhaps I did not see God in my daily life because I did not seek him. These two passages popped in my head. (Thank you, Holy Spirit) As I looked at these verses, I realized that my idea of God being present in my day must be that He should be obtrusive, making Himself known to me. I think the key is for me to look. If I misplace something in my office or home, I don't expect it to jump out of where it is hiding and yell, "Here I am!" I look for it. I seek it. How much effort I put into the search is dependent on how important it is to me. God has given me a choice: seek Him with all my heart or not. I can ask for His help in finding Him. I can ask that the doors between us be opened. But the ball is in my court. I need to be The Seeker.
