People are very apt to find what they seek. You have noticed that people who go about looking for trouble, practically always find it. The popular proverb, “Listeners seldom hear good of themselves,” is an example. We also know people who love to say that they never have any luck. When things seem to go against them, they exclaim triumphantly, “Wouldn’t you know it? That is what always happens to me!”
Now, such a mistaken person needs only to alter this habit and he will automatically alter his life. It is often difficult to get such people to make this alteration, but if they do the result is never in doubt. Spiritual law says that it is never too late to mend, and that when we seek God’s help we find it.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth;for I am God, and there is none else (Isaiah 45:22).
Many times, the old ghosts that haunt us, use our past to drive our present. Our past experiences should be used to enlighten our present, not to dim it. It is only when we have learned our lesson and turned our backs on our hurts and failures that we escape them. That happens when we look to God and obey His will.
The Bible says seek and ye shall find. So today, let us seek that which is good in us and in others. When we look through God’s eyes, with the Holy Spirirt in our hearts we will find that which is good and holy. We will find our fortunes changing and our path leveled as we journey down it to the garden that awaits us each day.
Seeking and finding God,
