Who Are You Seeking?

Therefore Jesus said, "For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me. You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come." The Jews then said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?" What is this statement that He said, 'You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come'? John 7:33-36

 

The Pharisees were told that they wouldn’t be able to find Jesus—but He tells those who follow Him…

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Luke 11:9

Look for Jesus and you’ll find Him…believe. The Holy Spirit guides us as we seek Jesus. The Pharisees were not seeking Jesus in truth, but to find a way to kill him. We should seek Jesus in all honesty and truth—wanting to know Him in spirit and in truth. I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, and my spirit ponders…Psalm 77:6. My soul is rejoicing—seeking and finding Jesus. I meditate on Him…on His word, day and night that I would continually find Him…and know Him more deeply. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things (everything we need) will be added to you. Matthew 6:33. How about you? What or who are you seeking first in your life?

 

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, I’m seeking You first in my life—show me the way I should think, speak, and act that I would please You in all that I do. I rejoice in knowing Christ…in knowing You.
