Seeking God

We know that God is not lost. Neither is He playing a game of Hide-n-Seek with us, cleverly ducking out of view as soon as we come around the corner. So when we talk about “seeking the Lord”, we are certainly not talking about it in our traditional sense. Both the Hebrew and the Greek words translated “seek” have the meaning of seeking after someone with purpose for something that is deeply desired. We’re not just seeking for God so we can say, “Tag! You’re it!” We’re not seeking Him to prove that He exists. Rather, we purpose in our heart to seek His face, so that we might be conformed to His image. It is true that we become what we behold… if we seek things of the world, we will become like the world. If we seek God, we will become more like Him. Meditate on these scriptures and allow them to compel you to SEEK GOD!
