Seek God

Seek God

If you seek Him

He will find you;

no matter how dark

the world that blinds you.

Through temptations

He will guide you.

Yet, know past phantoms

will try to bind you.

Clawing. Crawling.

Still –

      You seek Him!

Cling tight to courage.

Your hope will free you.

Lost you might be

but not misplaced.

No one is hidden

from the Savior’s face.

When you cry out

He will rush to

embrace you in grace

and never leave you.

Dark becomes light.

Loss becomes life.

If you seek Him

He will find you.

Did you happen to catch the wording of the first and last two lines? " If you seek Him, HE will find YOU!" Now I know that Jeremiah 29:13 says, "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." But I prefer to think that when we start seeking the Lord, that He is already on His way to meet us.

What makes me think that? Well, imagine this:

It is the middle of the night & an unexpected storm arrives. The wind moans and rattles the glass in the window panes. Thunder’s shockwaves make your home tremble. Then the rain begins pounding the rooftop like an angry person demanding to be let in. With the first lightning bolt, the power crashes. There is not a sliver of light shining in the inky blackness. You rise from your bed and start down the hall, listening. Then from the obscure darkness, your child wails in fear from the other room – the cry you knew was coming before it was heard.

Notice that the parent (you) in the story above was up and headed to the child before they even cried out? How many of us as parents have done that exact thing? Whether our children are infants, toddlers, elementary, high school or grown; if we know they need us; we are on our way to meet that need. THAT is how I know that if we are searching for God, HE WILL COME FIND US.  Why? Because just as a good earthly parent knows the needs of his child, God already knows our needs before we voice them. Matthew 7:11 plainly says, "If ye then . . . know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" The same applies to coming to their rescue.

No matter how dark our storm, our Heavenly Father is already headed toward  us, reaching out for us, before we cry out His name.  Isn’t it wonderful???

Thank you, Heavenly Father, that before I even call out You have heard my cries. Before the echo ends, You are already by my side. I am comforted to know that no matter how dark the storm in my life might be, change will come and with it, the blackness will flee from Your Light. You are my Rescuer and my Salvation! ~ Amen
