following or leading

Lately, in my devotions God has been pointing out some very important things to me.

When I was reading this week, it was in Matthew 7:7, that say's: "ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you." But God doesn't want us to seek in vain! He promises that he is a rewarder to those who seek him diligently (Heb 11:6)  So why do we feel sometimes God isn't near us, well I ask you, where have you been? If you have been in God's word, he has been there all along, if you have been in prayer, he is right beside you, if you have sought the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance, he is there.

 But if we have all sought this in Vain, self seeking, we may be following the wrong path.  Then I ask you, who is leading you? Where is your path going.... Do we seek God for every decision we make? Are we asking God to guide us in important decisions in our life, are we praying for God's wisdom and guidance in every situation we experience.  If not, Knock, Seek and find, because in Verse 8, it continues to tell us.... " For everyone who asks, receives, he who seeks will find, and to him who knocks,the door will be opened".   Who are you seeking today?
