1 Chronicles 28:9

"If you seek him, he will be found of you."

WE need our God! he is to be had for the seeking; and he will not deny himself to any one of us if we personally seek his face. It is not, if you deserve him, or purchase his favor, but merely if you "seek" him. Those who already know the Lord must go on seeking his face by prayer, by diligent service, and by holy gratitude: to such he will not refuse his favor and fellowship. Those who, as yet, have not known him to their soul's rest should at once commence seeking, and never cease until they find him as their Savior, their Friend, their Father, and their God.

What strong assurance this promise gives to the seeker! "He who seeks finds." You, yes you, if you seek your God, shall find him. When you find him you have found life, pardon, sanctification, preservation, and glory. Will you not seek, and seek on, since you shall not seek in vain? Dear friend, seek the Lord at once. Here is the place, and now is the time. Bend that stiff knee; yes, bend that stiffer neck, and cry out for God, for the living God. In the name of Jesus seek cleansing and justification. You shall not be refused. Here is David's testimony to his son Solomon, and it is the writer's personal witness to the reader. Believe it and act upon it, for Christ's sake.
