SEEKING GOD

Wisdom of Solomon 1:1-2 LLX

Love righteousness, you who judge on the earth.
Think about the Lord in goodness
And seek Him with sincerity of heart;
Because He is found by those who do not tempt Him,
And He is manifest to those who do not disbelieve Him.

Encouraging Words

Can we truly find God in our lives? The answer is a resounding, "Yes!" Unfortunately, we often seek Him on our terms, expecting Him to show up in our lives the way that we want. Here we are reminded that we must approach our God from a heart and mind focused on goodness and sincerity. What this means is that I come to Him, seeking Him, on His conditions. I am the one who is lost and unclean, not Him. I am the one who must desire Him and pursue Him. And the result? He will always be there. He will always pour out His love and mercy. Glory be to God!
