Third Droplet: SEEKING

These past couple of days, I've been thinking a lot about the passage where Jesus says, "Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened..."

This passage reveals a promise from our heavenly savior. Like I've written in my previous posts, when we get used to hearing something, it won't make so much effect.

Take a moment and just think about God and all the blessings He has given you. Think about the size of the Earth and the greatness of our universe. If you believe that He exists and has created all of this, then you should trust His word and believe that He will be faithful.

Seek and you will find. How many times haven't you thought, "God, isn't listening" or "I don't feel Him." Sometimes, we must understand that God makes us wait to produce patience or sometimes it's just not the right time. But other times, be honest, you haven't really sought!

Many times that is the problem. We expect God to come through instantly, but we don't do our part. As I told my friend yesterday, Jesus didn't say "Sit and I'll do all the work."

I know most if not all of us, have met people who physically reflect their purity and their peace. They are on "another level" of spirituality. We can admire these people, but we shouldn't limit ourselves thinking that we can't experience God as they are! The key is to insist, I mean: not pray once a month and read the bible once a year. I mean, really learning who God is, walking in integrity and seeking His will above all.

God calls us to seek, to knock. God desires to hear you, to become a part of you. Jeremiah 33:3, another well-known passage says "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you don't know (NIV)."

These scriptural promises should be more than sufficient encouragement for us to step up and seek God. We cannot just think about what it would be like to seek God.

Let's stop imagining and put God's promises to the test.

Remember that God was faithful before He'll be faithful again. Seek and you WILL find.
