What does it mean to diligently seek God?

Diligently seeking God involves a commitment that goes beyond casual interest. It is an attitude portrayed in scripture where one actively pursues a relationship with God with the utmost sincerity and urgency, akin to the example of searching for something precious that has been lost. The sermon reflects on Jesus' parable of the lost coin to illustrate this earnest pursuit. It emphasizes that such diligent seeking is characterized by an unwavering focus on God as one’s only hope, which is rewarded by His presence and guidance. It's not merely passive acknowledgment but a heartfelt striving for intimacy with God through faith and obedience.
