Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Ps. 43:3. O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. (KJV)

Have you tried searching for God? It’s a difficult search. Why should it be difficult, you might ask. It’s simply because God is not anybody that He be found just like that. God is only found by those with a simple heart and a seeking nature. He is found by them who yearn for Him; but there’s a rider - God alone knows the inner thoughts of each and every man. It’s not difficult for Him to decipher what a person is thinking and searching, for He knows the inner thoughts of all mankind.
All of God’s work is only done by those who are chosen and called by Him. It is He who chooses and calls. We can have no hand in it. Having seen you before He laid the foundation of the world and having looked into your heart then, whether you are for Him or not, He has chosen you and leads you. As we live out this life, we may not even be aware of this transaction between God and us which happened before we were born and we may not even understand our important role in His Kingdom. We may ask Him, why did You choose me Lord, for there’re many others who’re much better human beings than I am and so good in character and nature. Mind you, He knows you well and if He has chosen you, He has a good reason and only time reveals this.
Reaching God is really clothed in mystery and only those chosen by Him may reach Him. That’s why the psalmist requests God to send His light and truth so they could lead to Him because the psalmist, being deeply ingrained in God, has understood that only they can lead him to witness God’s glory. If you’re chosen and you definitely know if you are, then ask the Holy Spirit to lead you; He, the beautiful Spirit of God will drop you off in the very bosom of God where you can delight in Him to your heart’s content.
