KEEP LOOKING
Today's reading:  1 Chronicles 25-29

"...If you seek him, you will find him."  1 Chronicles 28:9 NLT

There are two gentlemen in my house who are constantly looking for things.

They are constantly accusing me of hiding their stuff and forcing them to go on a scavenger hunt to locate any single piece of the pile of treasures they have allowed to amass.

I can usually tell them where their things are, not because I have hidden them, but because I have either stepped over them twenty times or have placed them in their proper place.

I can provide them with detailed directions to locate said items, narrowing their search down to even a specific shelf in most cases...and yet they seldom are able to locate them.

It requires me going with them to specified closet and pointing it out to them...in the exact place I have told them.

I call them 'glancers',not 'seekers'.

I am guilty of the same thing.

There are times I want to see God's will or direction but refuse to give more than a glance or a quick look in His direction.

The Bible tells us on several occasions that if we seek Him, we will find Him.  A guarantee.  A promised outcome.

Let's start looking for God with a more concerted effort.
