Seeking is that continued earnest looking. The search is not complete until that which searching for is found. It is the not giving up.
“7Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” – Matthew 7:7 (ESV)
As I have mentioned a number of times, I am a corporate training professional and one of the concepts that I lean on in my training classes is that we have to ask if you want to get an answer. I may have the resources that I need to do the job or task, but I also may not be able to find the answer on my own. In those instances I must ask for the answer in the moment and also be sure to ask where the answer is found to know for next time, in case there is a change. In sales, I may give the best presentation but I also must ask for the sale in order to get it.
In our search for God, it is up to us to continue the search until found. There are times when we do not know where else to look and in those instances it is our responsibility to ask others and knock on doors to gather more information to find Him.
We will find God when we truly search. But the search is not over once we initially find Him. We must continue the search as God will continue to have more tasks for us in the world. In order to know what those tasks are, we have to ask and knock for Him to open the doors. And then when God gives us the task, we must continue asking and knocking and seeking the path to completing the task. And then the cycle begins again. We are here for His glory and we to not give up seeking Him and His glory.
When you are searching for God, are you asking and knocking once you seem to reach the end? Are you determined to find Him or the next task He has for you? What if we didn’t give up and continued our search for Him and His glory?
