“I love those who love me, and those who seek me and find me.” Proverbs 8:17
To seek and find the Lord is a continuous act. It is not just a one-time action. We are told in Matthew 7:7-8 to “ask and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find: knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. ” If you and I keep at it, if we ask the right questions, if we pray and ask, we will receive the answers. Because of our human nature it may take a while. We sometimes are impatient and want answers “right now!” It is not always in God’s plan to give us the answers right now, but instead on his timeline. We don’t always see the whole picture, but God does! We sometimes don’t pay attention and miss the answers he gives us. Or there may be times that we want to hear a different answer than the one our God has given us. No matter the circumstances we are to continue to seek, continue to knock and expect to receive. We should always stay alert and watch for his answers. We should be reminded that they come in so many different ways. We must have faith and should never be fearful of going to our God in heaven to remind him of our requests and his promises for our lives. The Lord God has provided us with his Holy Spirit and because of that he is always with us and never far away. We should be reminded that we can stop what we are doing at any time and visit with him. He is always there to listen and to answer us. He loves us more than we can ever understand. Stay watchful, continue to pray and seek and he will answer! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
