LOOKING FOR HIM
Today's reading: Song Of Solomon 3-4

"One night as I lay in bed, I yearned deeply for my lover, but he did not come. So I said to myself, I will get up now and roam the city, searching for him in all its streets and squares. But my search was in vain. The watchmen stopped me as they made their rounds, and I said to them, Have you seen him anywhere, this one I love so much?" Song of Solomon 3:1-3 NLT

What lengths have I gone to in order that I might find God?

I'm not asking myself if I've recently come up with a great new ministry idea, started a blossoming outreach program or sparked a budding Christian growth class...

But have I sought out God?

Where He is already at work, and come up alongside Him?

What He is busy at, and stepped in to do what He needs me to do?

Who He is already working on, and I repeat to them what He is already saying to their hearts?

I'm thinking this morning that God needs fewer 'trailblazers' in His church than we think He does.  He needs more and more of us to pitch in where He is already moving, changing, transforming and redeeming.

I'm going to go out looking for God today!
