A Good Goal For Us All

This blog has mentioned this before, but the topic seems important enough to mention again.  A great goal for us all would be to Seek God; this is what He expects from His people.  Many passages make this point throughout the Bible.  We will look at some of these rather briefly.

One of my favorite verses is Hebrews 11:6,  "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."  For our purposes here, the emphasis is on "...those who diligently seek Him."  God wants to be sought.  In fact, He demands it if we are to be His people.

Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."  God will provide.....but He requires that we seek Him.

Psalm 9:10, "And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."  Emphasis is on seek.

And Deuteronomy 4:29, "...you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

God wants us to seek Him.  And if we seek Him, we will find Him.....and he will reward us!  There is our goal.

Thanks for reading.  You are important.
