"You will seek me and find me when you seek
me with all your
JEREMIAH 29 : 13
All over the world you find temples, mosques,
churches, and religious gathering of one kind
or another. Why do you think such is the case?
Anthropologists respond that humans have
religious nature, but the question goes deeper
than that. How did the longing for "something
more" emerge? Where did the desire to know
God and to worship Him come from? Who out
it there? Christians are quick to respond.
"God did. That's how He made us!"
The book of Ecclesiastes says that God
"set eternity in the heart of men; yet they
cannot fathom what God has done from
beginning to end" (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Dr. Hugh Ross, a scientist and a Christians
apologist believe that human curiosity is
evidence that not only were you created in
the image of God, but that most of all---
God exists.
Does it matter whether your desire to
know God was hard-wire into your DNA
or simply born in your heart? The fact is
you want to know God so that you can be
assured that you came into the world for
a reason, and that you can have peace Him.
God would have been cruel to create
you with a desire to knowHim.unless He
had made provision for that need to be met,
for your questions to be answered, and for
your search to end in His embracing you in
His great love. He put that thirst in your
heart so that He could fully satisfy it. The
psalmist put it this way. "For he satisfies the
thirst and fills the hunger with good things"
(Psalm 107:9).
Do you want to know God in a deeper
and more fulfilling way? Humble your heart,
bend your knee and tell Him. Let the words
flow, tears too. He Know and understands.
