The sheep of God’s pasture had been scattered by evil shepherds. Sheep were lost. No one knew where they were.

Imagine it from an actual shepherd and sheep perspective. The good shepherd looks everywhere to find his lost sheep. He looks all through the hills, in caves and holes, under bushes, around walls, in ditches or anywhere a sheep might be found. That’s God seeking for his lost sheep. That’s God looking for us.

God says, “Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out.” (Ezekiel 34 v 11 ESV).

Jesus told us to seek too. We need to search and seek following the example that God gives us when he seeks us out to give us a hope and a future and to bring us back to him. Jesus said it in these words: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6 v 33). And God said, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29 v 13).

If God is seeking us and we are seeking him and we are both seeking each other with our whole hearts, we will find each other. And what a blessing that will be!

May we set our heart to seek God and his kingdom today.
