"For thus saith the LORD
unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:" (Amos 5: 4)
Seeking the Lord means seeking to know Him with genuine love. Look for me; Not blessings from me, says the Lord God. When we seek Him like that, our soul will survive.
A man who truly loves a
woman deserves that she should be his own because he loves her, but he does not
fall in love by calculating how much dowry he will get if he marries her.
Loving like that is not true love. But many who claim to love Jesus Christ
today love Him expecting what they will get from Him. So, loving like this is
not really loving Christ.
"Seek
the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore." (Psalms 105: 4) we read in the
Psalms. This verse tells us to seek him and his community not once, but daily.
The reason is that life without Him, the true light, will be a life of
darkness.
Also, what we see is that those who seek worldly blessings from the Lord without true love often wander from town to town and temple to temple. But this is pointless. This is what God says through the prophet Amos, "But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.' (Amos 5: 5) Yes dear, life without true love for God will make us wander like this.
We should not wander
anywhere in search of God. We can know Him, worship Him, feel His presence
right where we are. Yes, we can worship the omnipresent Lord anywhere. This is
what Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye
shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father."
(John 4: 21)
Why should we seek Him?
Today's verse answers that too, "Then you shall live." that. That is,
if there is no Lord in our lives, we cannot survive. No matter how many
possessions we live with, it is not a truly living life. If we want to survive
in this worldly life and in the hereafter, it is necessary to seek Him and for
Him to be with us.
Those who live in search of
God for worldly blessings cannot find His presence in their lives or realize
the absence of God's presence in their lives. They eat, sleep, go to work and
do prayer and temple worship as a daily routine. But those who seek and find
the Lord know clearly His presence and His absence.
According to the New
Testament we believers are spiritual Israelites. Therefore, God says this for
us, “saith the
LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:" Let
us rejoice in His presence.
