If there ever was a
time in history in which people were searching for God, it is now. Albeit, most are searching in all the wrong
places; nevertheless, there is a real interest in God. Life’s events often trigger a search for God. When things happen that are out of anyone’s
control or ability to change, God is looked to.
Man looks for God when he is utterly helpless and in desperate need.
We must stay alert for
those around us who are searching for God so that we can help them to discover
the truth about God and not some counterfeit idea about Him. There are so many absurd things that are
being said about God, how to reach Him, and how He affects human life. We must be grounded well in our own
relationship with Him and in His Word so that we can help others avoid being
sucked into the false teachings in the world and church.
Satan is a master
teacher and deceiver. He convinces most people
of things that are not true about God.
He begins by casting doubt in the mind about the absolute authority of
God’s Word. He masterfully leads people
away from the Word and interjects other perceptions of truth in the mind. He disguises untruth with the truth until the
untruth prevails. He twists the Word,
takes it out of context, ignores parts of it, adapts it, and alters it so that
it is totally different than what it is.
He makes it sound good and attractive so that those who are searching
for God won’t find Him.
People looking for God
need people who know the truth and are able to lead them to Him. They need people who are not afraid to seize
opportunities given to them to speak out for Him. They need people who are able to help them
find the Lord. The Lord longs to have a
relationship with those looking for Him.
He cannot be found in the false teachings of the church. He cannot be found anywhere but through Jesus
Christ our Lord and Savior. There is
only one way to heaven where God is, and that is through Calvary.
People who never
before were looking for God are now searching for Him. They are everywhere you are at. Ask the Lord to open your eyes to see those
who are looking for Him. Ask Him to help
you be the one to take them by the hand and lead them to Him. He is near and wants to be found. People need people like you and me to show
and them, and tell them, the way to Him.
