Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Isa 55:6
I had a dream last night, and without going into the full details, I wanted to express to all today that He is near... We need to examine ourselves and ask ourselves the most important question for these times we are living in, "What am I doing to seek Him"..
We can no longer manipulate our thinking process to say that an hour or two a week is sufficient because I am around a group of beievers... This seeking is a dying to self, giving up all, on the floor, searching, and searching, until,, when you find yourself in a place that you can not get any lower,,,, the Lord gives you a groan, and a cry and the Lord enters in with you,,,, and suddenly,,,, there is a song that you have never heard before that erupts from your spirit and when you have reached that place,,, you never want to stop.........

The word used there - seek - is the word "darash".
ReplyDeleteTo seek in Hebraic thought using the word darash, is to go after something with all your heart. The word darash is used to show us how we are to seek God; for darash is a recurrent, zealous, and conscientious pursuit.
Darash speaks of a continual process of going after something. Therefore, it is a purposeful seeking that is repetitive in nature. It is something that we as believers are admonished to do, in other words, seeking after God is to be a daily part of our lives.
It is not to be a one time, or once in a while event, but is to be based in a constant longing for a deeper revelation of the heart of God. Soon we should find that what we do in life is because of the forward motion propelling us on to seek His face.
After the seeking comes the finding, that is so exciting to ponder. We are not slaves to a god of stone or wood, but we serve a living GOD who hides his face, lures us into the chase with longing hearts and then suddenly allows us to find him. Oh how he touches our hearts with His love. He satisfies, He alone satisfies. I love the chase. The hunt for secret place of his presence. Thanks for sharing.
