TODAY’S WORD FOR THURSDAY MARCH 31, 2016.
SOUGHT
Go in search or quest of; attempt to discover or obtain.
And they shall be called the Holy people, the redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called sought out, a city not forsaken. Isaiah 62:12.
There is a difference between seeking something with little value and seeking out something with great value. Most of us from time to time lose items in the house. We forget where we put them and for the most part they are items of little value. When the item is of great value and is something that is not easily replaced, we go to no ends of trouble and effort in seeking out the item.
It is this kind of seeking that God has done for each one of us. It is very clear in the scriptures that God not only sought us but sought us out. We were lost but because of God’s great love for us as one of His own children, He earnestly and diligently sought us out, just as we would diligently seek out a very valuable item that we had lost.
Before we knew Christ we were lost. We were wandering in the darkness of our sins and wallowing in the filth of our wickedness. In God’s sight we were like a precious piece of gold that had fallen into a sewer. Gold is precious but we are to God more precious than gold and therefore we are sought by Him. In His mercy He came to us while we were wandering and lost in sin to bring us the good news of the gospel. We were lost sheep, desperately lost, as though we had wandered into another country.
But by the power of His unspeakable grace God found us and sought us out to be one of His children. It is beyond our human understanding to understand why God would seek us out. He not only sought us but gave His only Son to die for us thereby giving us the greatest treasure of all, eternal life. Take a moment today and praise the Lord that He sought you out to be one of His children.
Our memory verse for this week is found in Ephesians 6:1.
Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Thank You for seeking me out because I was lost in the depth of an ugly and sinful world. Thank You for the salvation You brought to me so that I could become one of Your children.
