For evermore

For evermore

The Psalmist writes,

"Seek the Lord, and His strength: 

seek His face evermore." 

                                                Psalm 105:4.

Being a Christian not simply saying “I believe in God and that Jesus paid the price for my sins”.

Being a Christian is going before God continually to seek His wisdom and guidance. 

The late American evangelist Billy Graham,

“The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'” Billy Graham

In our lives we will have many ups and downs. 

The key however whether we are in one of the valleys of life or having a mountain top experience is to seek God continually.

We do this by studying the scriptures, praying, and praising God.

Do you seek The Lord continually in good times and in bad?

Please think about it.

You have to be truly searching

 You have to be truly searching.

The Psalmist writes,

"Seek the Lord, and His strength: 

seek His face evermore." 

                                                       Psalm 105:4.

Here is a good word of advice for everyone Christian or not. We need to seek the Lord.

Jeremiah the Prophet wrote,

“You will seek me and find me 

when you seek me with all your heart.” 

                                                                  Jeremiah 29:13.

I think the reason people don’t find God is because just are not seeking Him with their whole heart. Either that or their minds are made up that God does not exist and as such they are not looking for Him.

An unknown writer stated,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” Author Unknown.

You truly have to be searching for God in order to find Him.

Are you searching for God?

Are you truly searching for God with your whole heart?

Please think about it.

Seek God's face continually!

  Seek God’s face continually!

The Psalmist writes,

“Seek the LORD and His strength;

Seek His presence continually!” 

                                                       Psalm 105:1-4.

Here is a simple admonition from the Psalmist to all who believe in God. To all who believe in Christ Jesus.

“Seek the LORD, and His strength: seek His face continually!”

This to me is saying we must make God an integral part of our life. We should seek His guidance daily especially in the important decisions of life.

If you claim to be a Christian do you do this?

Please think about it.

Seek

 Seek

"But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul."  Deuteronomy 4:29.

I like this quote. It’s by an unknown author it states,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God 

for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” 

                                                                                Author Unknown.

Put simply if you’re not looking for God. You will not find Him. For many people if their minds are made up about anything. All the good arguments in the world will not convince them otherwise.

What I would ask anyone reading this is at least keep an open mind. If you don’t believe in God. Take time to read at least the New Testament. Look at what the men and women who knew Jesus thought about Him.

Be willing to change what you believe.

Please think about it.

Seek Ye First

  Seek Ye First

Jesus said,

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33.

Today in Canada is New Years Eve. A lot of things have happened in 2022. A lot more will occur in 2023. Thus we need to look to God. To as Jesus said, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Take a few moments now to pray and seek God. Ask God to show you what He wants for your life.

While you’re at it take time to thank God for all the blessings that have come your way in 2022.

Please think about it.

You need to be sincerely looking

  You need to be sincerely looking

Jeremiah the Prophet wrote,

“You will seek me and find me 

when you seek me with all your heart.”

                                                            Jeremiah 29:13.

An unknown author quipped, 

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God 

for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” 

                                                                    Author Unknown.

That unknown author I think hit the nail on the head. Many who call themselves atheist are convinced there is no God, and no one will ever be able to convince them otherwise.

However I believe there are many out there who are truly looking for God. And that’s the key. You need to be sincerely looking for God in order to find Him.

Blaise Pascal wrote,

“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.

What I always tell anyone who is looking for God is take time to pray and ask God to direct you. Read at least the New Testament and see what its writers believed about God.

I also think you should try to find a good church in your area. 

As I write this blog in Canada I can’t say what a good church is in any particular area around the world. I suggest here in Canada to visit a Salvation Army congregation or Baptist churches even Anglican, Presbyterian, or Christian reformed.

When you do go to a church just make sure that the church is teaching from the Bible. The Bible is considered by Christians to be the word of God. The only authority on God. No other writings should take its place.

The key to knowing God is to study the Bible. 

You can buy bibles that have commentaries that explain the scriptures and give background information about when the various books of the Bible.

The important thing is to truly seek out God and He will show Himself to you.

Please think about it.

If you truly seek

 If you truly seek

In Deuteronomy we read,

"But if from there you seek the LORD your God, 

you will find him

 if you look for him with all your heart 

and with all your soul."  

                                                     Deuteronomy 4:29 

Someone has said,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” Author Unknown.

The truth is simple. You truly must be looking for God to find Him. If you’ve made up your mind that God does not exist. Then you will never find God.

So the question becomes are you truly looking for God?

Please think about it.

Call on Him

  Call on Him

Jeremiah the prophet states,

“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:12,13.

In order to find God we must be searching for Him. Not only that but when the truth of Gods existence is revealed to us, we must continue to seek the truths He offers to us.

Jesus said,

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24.

The Christian life is one of continued growth. The more we study the scriptures the more we grow into the person God wants us to be.

Jesus told us,

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7,8.

If you claim to be a Christian. A believer in Christ Jesus do you study the scriptures, praying, calling on God that He will show you the truths that are within their pages?

Please think about it.

A Truth

 A Truth

Jeremiah the profit quotes God as saying,

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” 

                                                                                               Jeremiah 29:13

Someone has said of atheists,

Maybe the atheist cannot find God 

for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman. 

                                                                              Author Unknown.

It’s true you must be truly searching for God with an open mind and a sincere heart. Otherwise you will never find God.

Please think about it. 

If you seek

If you seek
In the book of Deuteronomy we read,
"But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul."  Deuteronomy 4:29.
Someone once said,
“Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” Author Unknown.
The truth is you must be looking for someone in order to find them. Which is why I think many Atheist cannot find God. They may say they are looking but they already have their minds made up.
I have met many who say they are looking for God, when all they are doing is looking for evidence that what they believe is right.
Finding God is an act of faith. The book of Hebrews tells us,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.
Faith defined as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Hebrews 11:1.
That being said God does not want us to have blind faith in Him. But rather informed faith. The psalmist states,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day naive pour forth speech; 

night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." 

                                                                                            Psalm 19:1-3 

If we look into Science correctly we will see the handiwork of God.
One of the most brilliant minds of our time Stephen Hawking said,
“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,” Stephen Hawking.
I like what William Philips a Nobel prize winner in Physics said,
“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it”William Philips.
Werner Heisenberg the father of Quantum Mechanics and Nobel Prize winner in Physics said,
“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,
but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you” Werner Heisenberg.
I think in order to find God we have to keep looking. Both Philips and Heisenberg are well educated scientist who believe in God because of their work in science.
I think to say simply because I cannot see, hear or touch God in a tangible way is naive. Something that has eternal consequences.
Please think about it.
