[The apostle Paul said] "God did this so that men would seek him
and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far
from each one of us."
-- Acts 17:27
THOUGHT:
Our seeking God longs to be sought! God placed his fingerprints
all over the universe and then gave us places to find life and
meaning. He had a purpose in this plan: he wanted us to seek the
One behind it all. He is never far away from us, but he longs to be
sought and found. When we seek after God, we are not only blessing
him, we're also living out our life's key task.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, I long to know you more completely -- as the
old hymn says to Jesus: "Beyond the sacred page, I seek thee Lord.
My spirit pants for thee O living Word." Loving Father, I ask that
your presence would be recognizable in my daily life. I truly want
to get to know you, even as I am known by you. In the name of the
Savior I pray. Amen.
