An action and typically a deliberate action. You are spending time searching to find
whatever it is you are looking for.
Sometimes we don’t have to look very hard and we find that “thing”; yet,
other times we need to search harder. Quite
often when our daughter goes outside to play she will be running around and I
keep on eye on her as she bypasses the window.
It typically isn’t very long and she no longer is bypassing the window
so I need to go look for her. I usually
don’t have to look very hard to find her as she goes to her favorite place to
play; the sandbox. It’s kind of nice
knowing where I need to look.
It is much the same when searching for God. We know where to look to find Him because He
has never left us. We know all we need
to do is open up His word and He reveals so much to us. Yet, so often we don’t take time to search. Sadly, we leave His word on the shelf. However, by opening His word we find so many
things. We find the promises that have
been given us. We find the wisdom we
need. “Blessed is the one who finds
wisdom and the one who gets understanding.” (Proverbs 3:13) We find life.
“For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord.
(Proverbs 8:35) Open up His word because
the one who seeks finds. (Matthew 7:8)
