Found by God II

Tuesday 31 January
READ: Psa. 89: 20
MORE LESSON: 2 Chro.16: 9a

When Jesus was born, there were some wise men that were searching for Him. They came from a very distant land and they sought until they found the Baby in the manger. Their names entered into God's record because of their search. This shows that you can also search for God and find Him. In fact, in Jer. 29: 13, God says that you will seek Him, and find Him, when you shall search for Him with all your heart. This shows that God is searching and you also could search for Him. It is when God's search for you meets your search for Him that your place in destiny finds fulfilment.
David was a man like that; he was a passionate seeker of God. He said in Psa. 63: 1, O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. David was passionately seeking for God and God was also searching for a king. Saul had fallen short of God’s expectation and God needed a man that would carry out His will in Israel. So God figuratively took a torchlight and started searching over Israel for who would replace Saul.
The old king was still on the throne and God was already searching for a new one. This is why we must pray never to be replaced in God's agenda and that God will not search for someone else to do that which He has called us to do. Saul was busy living the way he wanted but he didn't know that God was already searching. David also was busy faithfully serving God and he did not know that God was searching. So God's searchlight rested on David and he became the king of Israel. In God's search for a king, one would have expected that he would go into the palace or the house of noble men. God, in His infinite wisdom, went to the wilderness and located His choice king. He took the greatest from the lowest place.
This is an encouragement to you to continue serving God faithfully even when no one seems to notice all that you are doing. You may be praying, studying the Word of God and giving yourself and your resources sacrificially for God's kingdom and it is unnoticed. You do not need to be noticed by men; you only need to be found by God. When God finds you, you will enter into your throne in destiny.

Prayer/Action
* Ask the Lord to make all that search for you for good to find you early.
* Decree God's searchlight to rest on you, in the name of Jesus.
* Forbid darkness from overshadowing you, in the mighty name of Jesus.
