Seek The Lord While He May Be Found

At some points of our lives, we often come to a spiritual stupor- we find ourselves in a state of not seeking God, because He just feels so far away from us - remotely related to our feelings, needs, and critical situations we're in. It's easy to say a prayer of "Lord, please give me the strength and wisdom to face this episode...", but how often do we consciously seek God's voice in our situation and His perfect will (not our ways) after we've prayed? We often think that it's suffice - we've prayed, we've come to church, we've done something good to others, but through it all, do we seek to meet Him face to face, hear His advices and rebukes, and receives approvals and praises from Him? Have we stopped anticipating from Him? Or have we become disheartened because of the many unanswered prayers? God said, " as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields see for the sower and bread for the eater, So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." [Is 55:10-11] God is a God who keeps His covenant with His people. Today, regardless of how overwhelmed we are, He is still leading the entire history of mankind and you with His covenant, achieving His ultimate purpose here on earth. Let us not harden our hearts and continue on our rebellious ways. Turn to Him today, put to stop the fictional faith living we have and seek Him while He may be found. While the current thoughts, feelings and situations may seem real to you, God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours, and His way is the one that truly set us free from our deadlocks. The presence of the Lord comes alive when you seek Him today, may we be the seeker of God in all things and at all times!

Often, what makes it tough for us is not so much the actual problems we face, but because we cannot see God in the midst of our problems. Moreover, when we see wrongly – when our eyes are fixed more on other things than God, that is the beginning of our problems. But thank God that though we often cannot see Him, He sees us and comes to look for each of us personally. Because He knows us by name and cares for each of us uniquely, once a person meets God, he will find transcending strength to face various life situations. Blessed is the one who sees the God who sees him today!

Verses to read: <Genesis 16:1-16>

1. The problem of human impatience and schemes.

1) SEEING WRONGLY is the beginning of the mess

2) IMPATIENCE and LACK OF FAITH >>> sowed problem

3) Our faithless devices lead to adverse results too??

2. “The GOD who sees ME”.

1) Unexpected grace.

2) He sees ME personally.

Power in personal attention.
He sees, He hears, He cares, He acts.

3) Find strength after meeting God.

Hagar went back to still be a servant to her harsh mistress.
The promise and nearness of God strengthen us.
After receiving undeserved grace, be humble and not let pride trip us.
Obedience is the best worship of God.

4) God sees us in order to lead us to see Him too.

Hagar said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” <v13>
God also asks us, “Where have you come from, and where are you going?” <v8>
Stop. See God. Get on right direction.
