You will seek me and
find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
There is a story of a man that was watching his
young son play on his Speak – and- Spell computer. He was concentrating intensively,
typing words into the computer so the computer would repeat back the words.
The young boy punched in the word God. To his surprise,
the computer said, “Word not found.” The young boy tried again with the same
result, and with great disgust, he stared back at his computer and told it in
no uncertain terms, “Jesus is not going to like this!”
Brothers and Sisters, in today’s world there are many
places where God is not mentioned and many people that don’t know what you are
talking about when you mention God’s name. My good news for you today is in the fact that for those who know God, God is already present and at work.
For people that need to know who God is, we are
needed to make the introductions and assist that person at looking towards God who
has been looking at them the whole time. It is not God who is lost, but rather
those that have never heard the name of Jesus Christ, that are lost.
My prayer for you all today is that you will go out
naming and proclaiming the name of God through His Son Jesus Christ. Help others
this day and every day to seek out God with all their hearts and minds, so when
they shout out his name they will never hear back: “God not found!”
This
is the day that the Lord has made.
