Seek and Find
“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.
In our twenty-first century many people are saying they don’t believe in God. However I believe many are saying this because they are not actively seeking God.
I think in our modern western society many times people are not seeking out God not necessarily because they are atheist. Rather it is because they simply don’t care about God. God and eternity at this point in their life has no relevance. That it is something to think about closer to ones death.
Having such an attitude toward God however can be dangerous. Very few people know the time of their death.
Jesus here tells us that we should seek God. That we should knock as it were on heavens door and ask God to truly show Himself to us.
Jesus notes,
“For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened” Matthew 7:8.
God is not far from anyone of us. All he requires us to do is turn to Him in faith. The writer of Hebrews stating,
Then again perhaps that is why God asks us to have faith. For people who have true faith in anything are the loyalist of followers.
Please think about it.

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6.
The key to finding God is having faith that he exists. However having faith in someone we cannot see, especially in the materialistic twenty-first century world we live in is a very hard thing in deed.Then again perhaps that is why God asks us to have faith. For people who have true faith in anything are the loyalist of followers.
Please think about it.
