seek and find!

I LOVE Easter egg hunts. So do my children, my friends, my sister. What is it about those hunts that are just so fun???? Why did my husband have to hide the eggs AGAIN for my sister this year, AFTER the kids had their hunt? I believe it has something to do with the way our All- wise Creator made us. The whole idea of "SEEKING" and "FINDING" is all over Scripture. The greater the treasure, the greater our search should be. Listen and learn or be reminded of God's command to seek HIM!

"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 MOTIVE behind the thoughts. IF you SEEK HIM, he will be FOUND by you." 1 Chronicles 28:9

"If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and SEEK MY FACE and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14

"How can a young man/woman keep his/her way PURE? By living according to your WORD. I SEEK YOU with all my heart; don't let me stray from your commands." Psalm 119:9 & 10 

"SEEK the Lord while he  may be found; call on him while he is near." Isaiah 55:6

"But SEEK FIRST HIS KINGDOM and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33

"Ask and it will be given to you; SEEK and you WILL FIND; knock and the door will be opened to you. For EVERYONE who asks receives; he who SEEKS FINDS; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." 
Matthew 7:7 & 8

"And without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and he REWARDS those who EARNESTLY (determined, eager, zealous, deep sincereity, serious) SEEK HIM." Hebrews 11:6

How about we make EVERY DAY  a treasure hunt day. May we enter this day with the excitement and anticipation of looking for Him EVERYWHERE and finding Him!  May we take great delight in knowing that God too, is on a daily treasure hunt and WE are HIS TREASURE!.(If you don't believe this, read Luke 15) 

" For the Son of Man came to SEEK and to save what was lost." Luke 19:10

May you be found by him today. May you be used by him to find others today. May these Scriptures be more than empty words but rather your reality, your personal experience! Blessings from Bombadil. Kristy
