Searching On

Someone said something interesting to me the other day: they said I seemed to be searching. Well, yes, I suppose I am. See, as Christians we ought always to be searching, because Christianity is not a destination, but a journey. I've got news for you, believer: you don't have all the answers, and you have not arrived! I don't care who you are or how long you've been saved, there is still much for you to learn and discover. So don't you dare stop searching! David, whom God dubbed a man after His own heart said, "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." David, as close to God as he was, never stopped searching and hungering for God. Paul, uncontestedly one of the greatest Christians to ever live, prayed "That I may know Him." He'd spoken directly to God; he'd seen His glory; he'd been used to write the very thoughts of God...yet Paul's desire was still just to know God. If David and Paul still searched, who are we to think we need not? God is not a child hiding behind a curtain to be discovered in an instant and all at once. He is more than we can comprehend--higher, holier, mightier, more gracious, more loving, more forgiving. I don't understand God. May I search until I do...which will not be until eternity is complete!
