Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!" Luke 24:5b-6a
Before we were saved we spent all of our lives searching for something. We search for things to fill that anoying void that is deep within us. We look for food, jobs, spouses, friends, degrees, and happiness. But when we got saved we found "it". We found that one thing that can turn the tide in our lives. However once that search was over a new one should have began. We should be looking towards Jesus and seek after His wisdom.
So essentially we will always be a race of seekers. When we are in the world we seek things that cannot sustain life. But when we find Jesus we recieve life and begin to seek a closer understanding of His word and will in our lives. This new search enhances and guides our journey towards GOD's destination . It will speak to all the other choices we have previously sought. In other words instead of looking for your spouse, now you are praying GOD prepares you for the spouse that he will deliver.
With that said I have one question. . . Why is it, even after all the time we spend with GOD, and know that He is the only one that has the answers, we still "look among the dead for the living"? We wrestle with the choices before us, and then consult every wordly source for an answer instead of calling upon the name of GOD. Sometimes GOD is the last one we consult. Thats like allowing plumber to perform your open heart surgery. As silly as that sounds it is running rampant in the body of Christ today!
We go back to the place that is familar. When there is a test we run to the world instead of GOD's word to get a peek of the answer. Today is the day that you should commit to truly searching for GOD's advice and appointment in your life. Jesus has come into your life to hold your hand everystep of the way. Remember if life were a test, God would be your teacher and is willing to share all the answers with you. Look for the answers of life in the words of the "Way, Truth and the LIFE" Jesus Christ.
Be Encouraged.
Remember I love you always and in all ways.
