Most little children like to play hide-and-go-seek. A group of little boys and girls were one day playing their favorite game. One would go and hide, then the rest would all try and find their little playmate. How carefully they would search—behind the doors, in the cupboards, under the table, under the bed, upstairs and downstairs, behind the trees and bushes, everywhere.
Now the Lord wants us to seek Him. He wants us to seek Him diligently, and He has promised that one who seeks Him diligently will find Him. But unlike the game the children play, we find that while we are seeking Him, He is seeking us. It does not take long for a seeking Saviour and a seeking sinner to meet.
The Bible 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).
“If... thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find Him, if thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deut. 4:2929But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29).
