Spiritual Strength For Each Day
“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6).
Let us ask ourselves the question, why should we seek the Lord? After His command, “Seek ye me” in Isaiah 45:19, He Himself gives us the answer to this question: “I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.”
I know of the terrible satanic temptation to be excessively busy all the time. All sorts of things combine to make us become absorbed by our work; thus, we have no time to seek the Lord with all our hearts. Even while we are praying, we suddenly find we are thinking of other things. The Lord admonishes us to listen to Him. When we seek Him sincerely, we do not necessarily find what is important to us, the answer to our prayers, but that may not be of primary importance to the Lord. The important thing is that we find Him. When we find Him, we have found everything. We have also found the answer to our prayers. When we find Him, our problems, questions and difficulties may not be solved perhaps, but we have become free of them. When we find Him, He is able to act. The Lord says, “Whoso findeth me findeth life” (Proverbs 8:35).
