Topic: The Meaning Of Seeking

God created us to seek Him. This is a profound idea. Our seeking ability is a profound gift. God put in each of us a heart to seek Him out. God did this so when we want to find Him we can and will find Him. Although we are separated from God because of our sin and because of the separation between our reality and God's Heaven, God still wants us to be with Him in spirit and in truth. God placed us upon the earth to seek Him out and do His will. Part of God's will for us is to seek Him and find Him. God did not make us to sit idly by and wait for God to appear in front of us like we sit and watch television. God wants us to be active and proactive. One of our basic purposes of life is to seek God. 

Acts 17:26 - 27 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should Inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. (NIV)

To search for God, to seek Him out, means we are to seek His love and pursue His peace. To seek out God means we request His real presence, solicit His warmth and caring, and ask for Him to come into our heart and life. Praise God He put in us a seeking heart.
