How will you seek the Lord?

The Lord told His disciples in Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: …” When you think about it, it’s a wonderfully assuring promise which can greatly comfort us.

The Bible often presents stark contrasts. There are two ways to seek the Lord. In Acts 10:1-2, there is an example of a good way. Cornelius was a good man who prayed to God. John assures us that if one looks for the Lord according to His will, He will bless Him (1 John 5:14). In Acts 8:18-23, Simon is an unfortunate example of a bad way to seek God. The problem was that he refused to seek according to God’s will. For this he was sternly rebuked and told to repent of his wickedness.

Revelation 22:17 says, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” God will certainly bless you if you will seek Him. However, you must seek Him correctly: “But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul” (Deuteronomy 4:29).
