Hello!
Israel asked for a king like all of the other nations, rejecting God as their king [1 Samuel 8 NIV]. Samuel warned them; solemnly, that the king would want to "claim his rights!" The people refused to listen. God said, "Give them a king." Before King Saul was anointed as king, God worked through priests, prophets [Judges 4 NIV] or other leaders who ministered before the Lord on behalf of the people as needed. Each was able to do that which was right in the sight of the Lord. He was "the king of their hearts!"
I have often wondered what Israel would have become if they had continued on 'in the way of the Lord!' God still wants to be "the king of our hearts!"
1) "But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul [Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV]!"
2) "I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me [Proverbs 8:17 NIV]!"
3) "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart [Jeremiah 29:13 NIV]!"
4) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you [Matthew 7:7 NIV]!"
5) "So I say to you: ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you [Luke 11:9 NIV]!"
6) "For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened [Luke 11:10 NIV]!"
7) "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us [Acts 17:27 NIV]!"
Through the highs and the lows, seek Him! Through thick and thin, seek Him! We will find Him! There is no substitute, for there is none like Him! If we stumble, let us right ourselves, and keep going - through Him! If we fall, let us get up, shake the dust off of our feet, and keep going - through Him! Giving up is not an option!
God loves, loves, loves you!
"Happy Today, and Happy Weekend!"
