It is an active endeavor that requires intention, diligence, and a heart aligned with God's will. The act of seeking is often portrayed as a prerequisite for finding, receiving, and understanding the divine. Seeking God The Bible frequently emphasizes the importance of seeking God with all one's heart. In <a href="/jeremiah/29-13.htm">Jeremiah 29:13</a>, the Lord promises, "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." This verse underscores the necessity of wholehearted devotion in the pursuit of a relationship with God. Similarly, in <a href="/deuteronomy/4-29.htm">Deuteronomy 4:29</a>, it is written, "But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." The Psalms are replete with expressions of seeking God. <a href="/psalms/27-8.htm">Psalm 27:8</a> states, "My heart said, 'Seek His face.' Your face, O LORD, I will seek." This reflects a deep yearning for communion with the divine. <a href="/psalms/63.htm">Psalm 63:1</a> further illustrates this desire: "O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You. My soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You, in a dry and weary land without water." Seeking Wisdom and Righteousness The pursuit of wisdom is another significant aspect of seeking in the Scriptures. <a href="/proverbs/2-4.htm">Proverbs 2:4-5</a> advises, "If you seek it like silver and search it out like hidden treasure, then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God." This passage highlights the value of wisdom and the effort required to attain it. In the New Testament, Jesus emphasizes the importance of seeking God's kingdom and righteousness. <a href="/matthew/6-33.htm">Matthew 6:33</a> instructs, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." This directive places the pursuit of God's kingdom above all earthly concerns, promising divine provision for those who prioritize spiritual matters. Seeking Truth The quest for truth is integral to the Christian faith. Jesus, in <a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>, declares, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This statement positions Jesus as the ultimate truth that believers are to seek. In <a href="/john/8-32.htm">John 8:32</a>, He further assures, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." The Promise of Finding The Bible assures that those who seek will find. In <a href="/matthew/7-7.htm">Matthew 7:7-8</a>, Jesus encourages, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." This promise is a testament to God's faithfulness in rewarding those who earnestly pursue Him and His ways. The Heart of the Seeker The heart's condition is crucial in the act of seeking. <a href="/hebrews/11-6.htm">Hebrews 11:6</a> states, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Faith and sincerity are essential components of a successful search for God and His truth. In summary, the biblical concept of seeking is a dynamic and multifaceted pursuit that involves a deep commitment to discovering God, His wisdom, righteousness, and truth. It is a journey that promises fulfillment and divine revelation to those who engage in it with a sincere and devoted heart.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
