One of my favorite games as a child was Hide-N-Go-Seek! I remember playing this game every single day, whether there were 2 kids or 10! Unfortunately, though, due to my inability to find good hiding spots, I was usually the "seeker" because the others always knew where my hiding place was. Every now and then, I would become frustrated because I couldn't find anyone and I would yell out, "I don't want to play anymore!!" Suddenly, the other kids would one by one emerge from their hiding spots!
Wouldn't it be cool, if God would do that? When we get tired of life, not giving in to us, we can just yell, " I don't want to play anymore" and all of a sudden, all of our blessings would just start emerging in answer to our frustration and lack of patience! I hear you saying, "keep dreaming!"
Sometimes, I feel like my life is in "hide-n-seek mode, where I am always the "seeker" and never the "finder". I'm seeking blessings, seeking answers, seeking prayer, seeking peace, seeking joy, seeking understanding, and still seeking employment!! :) and the list goes on! Have you ever asked yourself, "am I going to ever find all that I seek after?" Will this game called "life" end up defeating me? should I just throw up my hands and yell, "I don't want to play anymore?" .....What do you think? Do you ever feel like your life is one big game and you're not sure if you're winning? Feel a little "defeated" at times? Well, we are going to break free from the "life is just a game" mode and grab a hold of God's promises and assurances! God has assured us that, He "knows the thoughts that He has for us, thoughts to prosper us and not do us harm" .....God never promised us an easy life and we can pretty much count on life being hard and seemingly unbearable at times; always having to "seek" after that which is profitable to us. But, God has let us know that if we FIRST, "seek after His Kingdom, and His Righteousness, those things that we seek will begin to "emerge" or be "added unto us!" (Matt 6:33). Today, we are going to be confident in knowing that we are NOT defeated and that God is absolutely moving us towards our destiny! We must remember that we are not the only ones who spend a lot of time "seeking", because, the Word tells us that Satan also spends his days "roaming to and fro, seeking whom he can devour" and hoping that he finds us seeking everything, but God!! so that he might turn our destiny's into defeat!......Oh, but God! He hides us in the shadows of his mercy!! and he has surrounded our destiny's with his glory!! and as long as we keep our eyes on him....we win!!!! Choose ye this day, who you will seek after! Seeking after the World, will lead us to defeat, but let us continue to seek after the goodness of Jesus and watch our destiny's come out of hiding!!
