Good News Seeking and Finding

Today's RST is based on a thought by John Fischer from PurposeDrivenLife.com...

Need some good news? Here's some: those who seek God are given the benefit of the doubt--that if they seek Him, they will find Him. This is actually a promise in scripture: "He rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6 NIV).

This BTW is why those of us who are already getting to know Him don't have to jump all over those who are seeking Him when they get something wrong or don't put it in exactly the right words or perhaps don't see things our way. If they are truly seeking, they will find Him--and it will be God who opens their eyes anyway. We need to support people, to respect the search of those who are seeking, and to not get impatient with them or think of them as slow or foolish for not seeing what we see.

When it's time, they will--or maybe we'll wind up seeing things their way...

You've been prayed for today...
