Proverbs 8:
God delights in us, seeking Him.
Amen. Those seeking God, in His Word, and thus His wisdom, early, WILL find BOTH.
For He LOVES to fill us with His joy, peace, celebration, and wisdom and discernment.
He will ALWAYS answer with more than we expect.
We will ALWAYS find Him in His Word.
Precious.
And when we SEEK God diligently in His WORD, He WILL do this:
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." ~Jeremiah 33:3
I have wondered about this Matthew scripture. The Lord says to seek and we will find, and then says therefore whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Is He saying that Love is how we seek God? Or do i misunderstand?Proverbs 8:
Seeking God.
Seeking God, especially seeking Him (and His wisdom) early is a very precious thing to Him. He tells us that we WILL find Him, when we seek Him early.
How precious is THAT??!!
I have wondered about this Matthew scripture. The Lord says to seek and we will find, and then says therefore whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Is He saying that Love is how we seek God? Or do i misunderstand?
Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Amen.To me, it means that it delights God's very heart when we ask Him a'rightly for good things, and that He delights in giving them to us. Those things that are according to His will, we WILL receive, in HIS timing. Sometimes right away, sometimes not, for reasons only He knows, at the time. In the meantime, He asks us to TRUST Him as a small child would, and to delight in, and rejoice in Him.
Amen.
Our attention should be focussed on whatever is true, lovely, noble and praiseworthy.
Yes, wonderful, amen.
Love this one. Reposting yours, on a trip with my wife this weekend.
