Seeking God- God’s search for man

God’s desire for man

How God looks for man to seek him as seen in:

God looks down from heaven to see if any understand God’s desire for man to seek him and give evidence of this seeking by acts of righteousness –

Isaiah 32:17  

The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.

Acts 10:35  

But accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.

God waits for man to acknowledge his offense and seek his face –

Hosea 5:15  

Then I will go back to my place until they admit their guilt. And they will seek my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me.”

God invites man to seek him and emphasizes his omnipotence as an incentive for man to respond the invitation -

Amos 5:8

I  (he who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns blackness into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land— the LORD is his name—

Evangelism:

"A revival almost always begins among the laity. The ecclesiastical leaders seldom welcome reformation. History repeats itself. The present leaders are too comfortably situated as a rule to desire innovation that might require sacrifice on their part. And God's fire only falls on sacrifice. An empty altar receives no fire!" – Frank Bartleman
