Hide And Seek
Sis. Leatha Augustus
What are we hiding from, and what are we seeking for? We are not the only one seeking, God is seeking, satan is seeking.
I Peter 5:8,; Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.
Satan is seeking to see if you are going to let him in, and God is seeking those that will serve him with all their heart.
This world today thinks they can hide, but God has an all seeing eye, there is nothing that escapes Him. There is no place to hide down here where God cannot find you.
Jeremiah 16:7; For mine eyes are upon their ways, they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
Sometimes people think they have gotten away from committing a crime, because they didn’t get caught, but God seen it, even if no one else did. And there will be an account given when they stand before God.
Psalm 27:4; One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple.
Psalm 27:8; When you said, seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Do we seek the Lord as He desires us to seek Him? He said to seek Him while He is near. Seek Him while He may be found.
In a game of hide and seek, the seeker responds with, ready or not, here I come. Right now, God is giving this world a chance to get ready, He’s giving His church time to get prepared for one day the LORD will descend from heaven, Ready or not, He is coming back like He said. Proverbs 8:17; I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.
Seek the LORD early in your life, while you are still young, seek Him while He may be found of you!
Jeremiah 29:13; And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
The LORD is there to help you, to take you through whatever you go through. Sometimes whatever we face makes it seem like there is no tomorrow, no light, no hope, but God is there at all times, He is that light shining around you. He loves you so much that He laid down His life for you.
Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added unto you.
Matthew 7:7; Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
In Luke chapter 15, The woman searched for that lost coin until she found it, she didn’t give up. She kept seeking and it paid off. If we keep seeking after Him, it will pay off, we will find Him. Luke 19:10; The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Jesus is also searching for a lost coin. Are you are that lost coin?
