LITTLE boys and girls like to play hide and seek. One shuts his eyes against a tree or a goal of some kind and while he counts up to a hundred the rest all run and hide. Then he tries to find where they are. How carefully he searches — behind trees, under bushes, bind doors and buildings. Sometimes he finds them, sometimes he doesn’t.
Now God wants us to seek Him, and to seek Him diligently. He has promised that when we seek Him we will find Him. His Word says, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.” Isa. 55:66Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: (Isaiah 55:6). It is easy for us to find Him if we are in earnest.
While we are seeking the Lord, He is seeking us. How wonderful that is! It does not take long for a seeking Lord and a seeking sinner to meet, And then oh how happy it is when we find Him as our Saviour and Friend!
