FINDERS KEEPERS

READING: 1 CHRONICLES 28: 1-9

Verse 9: “As for you my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off  forever.”

God is truly amazing as He brings people together as couples. These matchups are often so unlikely that it is impossible to anticipate them before He pulls them off. The people involved just simply  could not know to be present at the right place and time in order to meet each other. Sometimes these types of meetings are know as “matches made in heaven”, or may be referred to as “divine  appointments”. People who do not know to specifically seek each other and become connected, are able to do so because the Lord causes it to happen. Since He causes us to find what we don’t even know to seek, how powerful He must be in making us able to find what we are seeking. This is even more so if what we are seeking is God Himself. The verse quoted above tells us that. Sometimes  people feel pressured to find the Lord, especially when they have important needs. There is good news! The pressure is off! When we honestly and sincerely seek Him, He is the One who makes Himself sure to be found. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
