MATTHEW 7:7_seek and ye shall find…
To seek means to look for something. It may be something you’ve lost. Or it may be a need. Or it may be a want. It may be for yourself. Or it may be for a loved one. If you have everything you need or want: you won’t be seeking.
There is something everyone has lost by way Adam and Eve. When sin entered the world, many things were lost: first and foremost the intimate relationship God intended people to have with Him. Seek that with all your heart.
The man after God’s heart, King David, understood this:
1 Chronicles 16:11 (KJV), “Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” There are two words in that verse which I particularly love: strength and continually.
Also lost by sin was wisdom. If you lose wisdom, you lose her two companions: understanding and knowledge. Spend your lifetime seeking these three.
The wisest man of all, King Solomon, covers this in Proverbs 2:4-6 (KJV):
“If thou seekest her [wisdom] as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
Seek!
PRAYER
Lord of Lords, I seek Your strength and wisdom continually. In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
Christ knows what I should seek—He will show me!!
