Hide and Seek

Psa. 14:2
From heaven God gazed down upon mankind, to see if there exists a reflective
person who seeks out God.


Have you ever watched kids play hide and seek when the seeker didn't really want to play? The hidden child waits and waits to be found but no one is seeking. They are excited, then curious, then restless and finally disappointed and hurt. No one was looking for them.

How God must love us to keep encouraging us to seek out His ways, to hold off his coming to allow us the time to look for him, to delve into his mysteries. I want to be a reflective person who seeks out God for myself, not just swallow what others have found. I'd rather be the one who looks into Holy places for myself. I don't want to hurt the Holy One with my apathy.

Yes, we don't seek God out as often as we should, that's for sure.

I am sorry to hear about G's accident! It sounds horrible. I am glad he wasn't hurt worse!

I will pray for him tonight.
