Searching for God

Searching for God - a quest man has been on since the beginning of time, often failing as he tries to find a god who fits his own image of what a god should be. History is filled with examples of these failed efforts, i.e. Greek and Roman mythology, Hinduism, Shintoism, Buddhism, and as politically incorrect as it may be to say it, Islam and Mormonism are more modern examples. The truth is, God is not hard to find - He is unmoving and unchanging. In fact, we don't have to search for Him at all, He will come to us if we will let Him. He actually seeks us out - He sought Adam and Eve in the garden; He sought Abraham in Chaldea to send him to Canaan; He sought Jacob, then wrestled the night away before blessing him; He sought Noah to build an ark; He sought a shepherd named David to build a kingdom; He sought 12 disciples to build a greater kingdom; He sought Zaccheus in a tree; He sought Paul on the road to Damascus; He sought me when He sent a person across my path to challenge me with the Good News of Jesus, who tells us of the one who would leave his 99 safe sheep in order to find 1 who was lost...how awesome and amazing it is that a God so big would put so much effort to find ones so small.....
