Searching and Seeking the Truth

Did you ever have a search party to help you to find something? Imagine loosing something that is completely valuable do you search frantically for it or do you casually look for the mechanism instead of having a search party? Sometimes in our lives we need to have a search party for our hearts to help us to understand the true value that knowing God's word actually holds. Scientists are constantly looking and searching for answers and sometimes it clouds the truth which seems to be hidden to many for they may not want to see the answer.


Psalm 139: 1-6 (TNIV) You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.


We need to allow God to search our hearts and we need to be actively engaged in searching for the truth in His words. Having an understanding of what the truth really is should prompt us to have a search party for what God wants and he wants our hearts and to spread his word with others. Sometimes we misplace certain objects and we start looking and searching frantically and other times we may just forget to actually look for what we are missing, but as a whole we need to be actively engaging in God's word and seeking and searching for the truth that lies within God's written words.


1st Chronicles 28:9 (TNIV) "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.


God searches our hearts and as Christians we need to be engaged in seeking the truth for God wants us to seek him and to understand his word. Searching for the Truth should not be just a one time thing but a regular occurance for we should actively be engaging in God's word along with seeking the truth that only He provides.


Romans 8: 27 (TNIV) And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.


Are you actively having a search party to seek God's words and seeking the truth to find the answers and letting him guide you from inside your heart?
A-men.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
