How to Seek and Find the Lord
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God
(Proverbs 2.1; the words of Solomon, king of Israel 971-931 BC)
MANY PEOPLE wander far from God, exploring all the attractions of this present world but finding nothing substantial, and much pain and disappointment along the way. Yet, as the years pass,k they cling almost desperately to the lifestyle which has failed them. 'If only,' King Solomon seems to say, 'we could put old heads on young shoulders and deliver the next generation from the fraud of a vain world which will steal their minds, hearts and souls, and never keep its promises.'
There is obvious tenderness in the appeal - 'My son, if thou wilt receive my words.' If we would only listen to God and turn to Him we would make great discoveries, receive countless experiences of His involvement in our lives, and gain wisdom and discernment also. However, there is a small but vital word in the way - 'If...if...if'. If only we would receive His words, that little word being the condition that decides whether or not we shall find the Lord.
