SEEKERS, FINDERS
"If thou seek him, he will be found of thee" I Chron. 28:9
We need our God; He is to be had for the seeking; and He will not
deny Himself to any one of us if we personally seek His face. It is
not, if thou deserve Him, or purchase His favor, but merely if thou
"seek" Him. Those who already know the Lord must go on seeking His
face by prayer, by diligent service, and by holy gratitude: to such He
will not refuse His favor and fellowship. Those who, as yet, have not
known Him to their souls' rest should at once commence seeking, and
never cease till they find Him as their Saviour, their Friend, their
Father, and their God.
What strong assurance this promise gives to the seeker! "He that
seeketh findeth." You, yes you, if you seek your God shall find Him.
When you find Him you have found life, pardon, sanctification,
preservation, and glory. Will you not seek, and seek on, since you
shall not seek in vain? Dear friend, seek the Lord at once. Here is
the place, and now is the time. Bend that stiff knee; yes, bend that
stiffer neck, and cry out for God, for the living God. In the name of
Jesus seek cleansing and justification. You shall not be refused. Here
is David's testimony to his son Solomon, and it is the writer's
personal witness to the reader. Believe it and act upon it, for
Christ's sake.
