Seek Him/Find Him

     The birth of your child, the death of a loved one, a major sickness, the loss of your job it is circumstances like this that make this crazy fast world stop and shake much like an earthquake. Everything around you shutters, the people that interact with you stop for a moment check on you, pray with you and in a matter of almost minutes those people resume their lives. Much like cars on an interstate they zoom past you heading for their destination while you sit on the side of the road.


   Have you ever felt this way? Felt like you were the only person in the world whose world was standing still? At that moment when you are having self pity you look up to see a friend holding out their arm to help you pick up the pieces of your broken world. Or maybe there are no friends. Maybe there is no one who is stopping to help. Maybe they are too busy or maybe they have deserted you. It is in these times that if you seek God you stumble upon just the right verse or just the right gesture from a complete stranger. It is in those words or that gesture that God is leaning down from heaven reaching out His hands and helping you pick up the pieces or showing you just what steps to take to get to your destination.


  Thanks be to God who promises that if we seek Him we will no doubt find Him. May we all make the most of this life but all the while seek after God in all that we do!
