What SeekYe?

Acts 5:15

The sick, lame, and demon possessed were brought out on the street so that perchance even the very shadow of Peter passing by may fall on them and they would be healed. Then what? What were these people looking for? The immediate need would seem to be that of being healed. It appears that it was the driving reason they came to the streets. How many of them left after being healed and never gave God another thought? I think about the increased turn out in church attendance immediately after 9/11 and how people sought answers from God. The attendance didn't last long, and soon all was back to normal. They came seeking comfort, got what they were looking for and didn't get what they needed.

What am I seeking? What is it that draws me? What is my motivation and what will happen when / if I get it? God saved me from eternal destruction in the lake of fire. It was completely unexpectedly. From that point on I have sought something. What is it? I want to be the disciple that leaned on His breast. I want to have His power working through my and in my life. Really? Always? Not always. Several times I want the temporal things of this world. God is so patient with me and merciful to me though, that He always brings me back. How hard can things get? Hard enough that God will have to work mightily to take me through and He alone will get the glory for it. Hard enough that I will have cause for great rejoicing when God reaches forth His hand and accomplishes His purpose. If I'm to see that happen, I must be with Him regardless of what happens, or what I think might happen (Jn. 11:7-16; 12:26).
