SEEK GOD’S WORD

Psalm 119:10-11
Psalm 19
“…and I shall be innocent from
the great transgression.”
SEEK GOD’S WORD
Treasure hunters risk their lives to trek and find the most elusive and priceless gems or antiques in dangerous places. The death-defying pathways do not deter them from climbing the steep mountains or even diving into the deep. Not only does nature object to their covetous desires, even beasts also bar these men from getting near those secret caves and tombs. The dream of getting that greatest gem blinds their eyes to the jaws of death waiting for them on the trail. But, there is a far greater treasure that man must get, and it is beyond the valuation of man. Not one in this world can afford to purchase it, not even the combined assets of the world’s “trillionaires” (if there are such).
Seek the LORD: The psalmist declares that his frequent pursuit in life is the LORD. He diligently treads the path to inquire of Him. He does it not arbitrarily but with his whole heart. He is conscious to look for God. It is a search for the most desired Being in the universe. Seek the LORD! This is the longing of one who aspires not to wander from His Word. He does not want to stray away from the commandments of God. In other words, the believer does not wish to transgress the Word of God. He cannot seek the LORD if he wanders from His ways.
Hide His Word: The compass toward the LORD is His Word. No one can reach Him without the prescribed route. No one can arrive at the place of the LORD if he bypasses the only way. To hide God’s Word is to esteem God’s Word very highly. The psalmist is well aware that if he loses the direction along the way, he misses finding the greatest treasure. It is the Word of God that points the believer to the only sure way. Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). No one can arrive in the Kingdom of Heaven without following Jesus.
Dear reader, do not miss the true riches in heaven. Seek the LORD. If you have Jesus, you will be part of Heaven’s Book of Life. Make no mistake about it!
THOUGHT: Am I seeking true and everlasting riches?
PRAYER: Father in heaven, show me the path towards Thee and to Thy Kingdom that I may enter in and live there, forever.
