Ill never forget my frustrating experience when I went to Chicagos Union Station early one morning to pick up an elderly relative who was arriving by train. When I got there, she wasnt where I thought she would be. With increasing anxiety I scoured the placeto no avail. Thinking she had missed her train, I was about to leave when I glanced down a hallway toward the baggage area. There she was, luggage at her feet, patiently waiting for me to arrive. She had been there all the time. And, to my chagrin, she was right where she was supposed to be.
Its that way with God. Hes there, patiently waiting for us. He assures us, I did not say . . . , Seek Me in vain (Isa. 45:19). Why, then, do we often have trouble finding Him? Probably because we are looking in all the wrong places.
Youll find Him right where He is supposed to bein His Word, in prayer, and in the voice of the Holy Spirit who lives within you. The God who says seek, and you will find (Matt. 7:7) also promises that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). So, you can rejoice that God is right where He is supposed to be, and Hes waiting for you right now.
