it's not a statement about looking for God, it's a statement about people not seeing what's going on right in plain view, right in their faces, and not asking questions and digging for the truth about what's really going on in their world. In some ways it like the parable about the flood victim who, when stranded on his rooftop prayed to God and asked that he be rescued. Then a large truck came by and offered to help the man but he said, "No, I prayed and God is going to help me" then a boat came by some time later and offered to bring the man to safety but again he said, "no thank you...I'm beleiving that God will rescue me" Meanwhile the water kept rising higher and higher and the man was getting more and more desperate and he prayed again asking God to help him. Just then a helicopter appeared overhead and the stranded man waved it off, yelling that he didn't need any help..."God is on my side", he said, "He will come to my rescue" The water eventually overcame the rooftop and washed the man away. When the man got to heaven he asked God why He didn't rescue him from the flood and God told him, "I sent you a big truck, a boat and a helicopter, what else do you want?" Don't ignore what is happening in front of you. Make a choice to do something about it. |
