“Seeking Answers With the Lord Our Shepherd”

    wisdom look for me

by Dona Hake

 

My oldest Granddaughter used to love to play hide and seek in our backyard.   She would call our yard “the forest” because of all the trees, and hiding places.   She would pretend that she was hiding from the “dragon” which was my German Shepherd Aasha.   There were a few times that she found some pretty clever spots and I was unable to find her.    I would say loudly enough so Rissa could hear me, “Oh my Aasha, I cannot find Rissa, can you help me find her?   It never ceased to amaze me the keen senses that my German Shepherd has (aka…”the dragon”)    So  she would seek diligently, her nose was totally tuned in to my Granddaughter’s scent, and in not time at all, she would find her in the most clever  hiding places.      Needless to say there was frustration on my Granddaughter’s part at times because there was no hiding place too clever for my German Shepherd!  

 

 

 

Sometimes in life we need answers and we need help finding them.   When we need answers we too need to position ourselves to be seeking and trusting God for the answer. We know the answer is right there under our fingertips yet we just need some direction to it.  Sometimes it seems that some answers take a little more digging and seeking for but the Lord our Shepherd will lead us and guide us into all truth. He will help us find the exact answers that we need, and He promises to lead us into the right places!   The Lord has hidden wonderful things in His Word for us, and He desires that we diligently seek out that which we need.

 

 

 

Proverbs 8:17-18  ERV)

I love those who love me, and those who look for me will find me. With me there are riches and honor. I have lasting wealth to give to you.”
 
 

 

Today I encourage you to look for His wisdom in the small things as well as the big.   He loves when you seek out what He has for you.

 

Proverbs 8:11
“Wisdom is better than pearls, and

nothing you desire compares with her.”

 

 

Proverbs 3:18

“Wisdom is like a life-giving tree to those who hold on to her; she is a blessing to those who keep her close.”
