GOD, THE REWARDER OF THOSE
WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM
(Heb. 11:6)

WHAT MORE REWARDING EXERCISE can there be for our minds and spirits than that of searching for God? And where then shall we seek Him? Firstly, in His word, for there He is revealed in a way impossible in any other of His works. His word is spirit, coming direct from Him, and is His very essence. It partakes of the purity and holiness that is His. Daily we should be seeking Him in His word, and we shall be rewarded, for His word is true, and He has promised.

But we can spend but a fraction of each day contemplating His words. What of the rest of our time, when the responsibilities of life absorb our attention? Can we find God in the circumstances of our daily round? We can, for He is in all (Eph. 4:6). Everything in some way displays some facet of His marvellous being. Not only our circumstances but all around us speaks to the searching heart of God.

What beauty there is in a flower! What majesty in a tree! What wonders the heavens portray! Everything speaks with united voice of the marvels of the God, Whom we can address as "Abba, Father". Every atom holds a story of His power, as does also every minute event in the life of an individual, a family or a nation. This is marvellous, and opens up vast avenues of searching. And the search is open to all. The only qualifications are faith and devoutness. We do not need to be Doctors of Divinity or Masters of any of the arts or sciences; we must, however, believe His word and fear His name. He is Marvellous, and all He does partakes of this character. In all there are depths of truth inexhaustible.
