Looking and Finding

I read something today from a friend and it provoked something the Lord thought me sometime back.

(1) God is better SOUGHT after than LOOKED for.

When you LOOK for, you SEE but when you SEARCH/SEEK, you FIND.

(2) The focus of looking is more likely on appearance. The element of SEARCHING is for DEPTHS.

(3) Looking can never instigate discovery. At best looking stirs admiration. Searching is what propels discovery (finding).

God is not meant to be admired. He is to be discovered. We find God. Matthew 7:7-8 says, "...seek, and ye shall find..." He that seeketh, findeth; In other words, he that "looketh, seeth".

What I mean is that, there is a consequent result for every input.

You can never LOOK to FIND. Its not Scriptural. This is what is scriptural seeMatthew 7:7-8. Hence, the end of SEEKING is FINDING. Thus, the basis for DISCOVERY and platform for a solid RELATIONSHIP with God.

Let's go beyond looking to finding God. He will be more real to us.

Who Decided Which Book Went into the Bible

Just about everyone wants to know how the sixty-six books got chosen to be in the Bible. Why these sixty-six? Why not a few more (or a few less)? Why these books and not others? In Persecution in the Early Church Herbert Workman tells the story of a Christian who was brought before the Roman governor of Sicily during the last great persecution of the church. His crime? Possessing a copy of the Gospels. The governor asked , “Where did these come from? Did you bring them from your home?” The believer replied, “ I have no home, as my Lord Jesus knows .” The governor asked his prisoner to read a portion of the Gospels. He chose a portion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ” Next he read from Luke: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. ” At this, the judge ordered the prisoner taken away—to his death. Under Roman law new religi...

How to Know with Certainty the Plans God Has for You

All around the prophet Jeremiah, the whole world seemed to be falling apart. His home, his nation, his people—everything continued to slip away. But right in the midst of this dark time, God gave a promise that still fills us with hope today: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) Perhaps you have come face to face with the sorrow that Jeremiah felt. Perhaps you, too, know what it’s like to see everything fall apart all around you. You know the pain, the uncertainty. But do you know the promise? God gave this pledge to the people of Israel who lived in exile, but it’s no less true to any of us who follow Jesus. He does have a plan and purpose for us that—while not always easy—is assuredly for our good and His glory (Romans 8). So, how can we know this plan He has for us? And how can we walk confidently in it? Listen Up Before God gave this famous promise, He warned the p...
