God Seekers

Psalm 27:8 - "When You said, 'Seek My face,' my heart said to You, 'Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.'”

Those who boast in being seekers after God usually do not have a clue about what they are stating. If a person is being led to seek God, it is only because God is drawing them out by His divine mercy. There is no kudos whatsoever to the individual, only that they have finally become available to the divine wooing. To believe otherwise is like thinking an animal has no instinctive leading to water. They must go out of compulsion and need.

A man's response is also very telling whether God is truly drawing him, or it is his own puffed up pride seeking "enlightenment." The difference is the head and the heart. If a man's head is seeking God, then he will find a god to his own thinking and understanding. It is the only possibility since man will only conceive after his own kind -- his flesh. However, if a man is being drawn from his heart, then the Spirit of God has taken the reins of this man's soul and will lead him in humility to be born again in God's image. Only heart knowledge can truly set us free, beloved. The other is merely a false balm or a band-aid leading to destruction.
