Seeking God

…the Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see whether any understand and seek God (Ps 13{14}.2)…(RB 7.27)

Hide and go seek is a favorite game of my nieces and nephews. They never seem to tire of playing it nor do they tire of changing the rules or adding new rules in the middle of the game. I think this is what we do with God sometimes—we play hide and go seek and when He gets too close we change the rules. There are times that we may or may not want to be found. But we are only fooling ourselves.

God says: “If you truly seek me, I will find you.” Seeking God is a long process of discovery but being discovered by God is truly amazing.
