A Sermon for Seeking Sinners

I have a surprise Wednesday night. I'm not going to tell you what
it is, but in prayer meeting Wednesday night at 7 o'clock,
we're going to have something. We're going to have a message,
but we're going to have something else, too. Now, tonight's message,
as I announced this morning, will be on the subject, a sermon
for seeking sinners. It would be awakening it would
be startling for some of you if you take a concordance, one
of the complete concordances, exhaustive concordances, Strong's
or Hodges, and study the hundreds of scriptures, I mean literally
hundreds of scriptures from God's word, which instruct us to seek
the Lord, to seek the Lord. Now that's my subject tonight,
a sermon for those who seek the Lord. We're so taken up today,
and this is true, you know it's true and I know it's true. We're
so taken up today with a do-it-yourself religion. We're so taken up today
with a, what I call, saved-on-the-spot decision. Come down the aisle and accept
Jesus and you're saved. You take my hand and repeat after
me, Lord be merciful to me a sinner. Now you're fixed up. You've had
a saved on the spot experience. You've accepted Jesus. You're
all ready now for eternity. And most people today do not
have the slightest conception of what it means to seek the
Lord. They don't know. It would be
well for us to ask ourselves, I'm not afraid to ask myself,
did I ever really seek the Lord? Seek the Lord. Did I ever really
seek the Lord? Am I now? I'm taking up where
I left off this morning. Am I now seeking the Lord? Am
I really seeking the Lord? Do I know the meaning of scriptures
like these? Listen to some of these scriptures.
This is just a few. From the book of Jeremiah, chapter
29, verse 13. And you shall seek me and find
me when you search for me with all your heart. Isaiah wrote
in chapter 55, Seek ye the Lord. while he may be found, call upon
him while he is near. Ezra chapter 8 says this, the
hand of the Lord is upon all them that seek him. His power,
his wrath is against all them that forsake him. David wrote
in Psalm 22, they shall praise the Lord that seek him. Are you
seeking the Lord or did you just accept Jesus? Did you just make
a decision? Did you do it yourself? Are you
seeking the Lord? I don't think a man has any right
to claim salvation who has not and is not and will not seek
the Lord. Psalm 119, blessed are they that
keep his testimonies, that seek him, seek him with all their
hearts. Our Lord Jesus said this in the
Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapter 6, seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be
added to you. Seek the Lord. Now if you're
interested, and I think we certainly ought to be, I'd somehow acquire
a concordance, I'd somehow get in touch with one, or a naive
topical Bible, and I'd go through the scripture and I'd read every
scripture on seeking the Lord. There are hundreds of them. I
just picked out seven or eight here from the hundreds. Seek
the Lord. In the text that Cecil read a
moment ago, here's a man seeking the Lord, seeking the Lord. Here's
a blind man seeking the Lord. The providence of God led him
to seek the Lord. We don't live in a world of chance.
You're not here tonight by accident. I don't believe for one moment
in chance. I don't believe for one moment
in blind faith. I don't believe for one moment
that we're living in a world of accidents. I believe we're
living in a world of God. A God of plan, a God of purpose,
a God of providence. I believe you're here tonight
by His divine providence and His divine purpose. You say,
what if nothing happens for me tonight? Something's going to
happen. Any time the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached in power,
in the Holy Spirit, it is a savor of life unto some and death unto
others. The gospel, if it's preached
in the power of the Holy Spirit, as Brother Roach prayed a moment
ago, and I hope that it will be, and warn to me if it's not,
but when the gospel is preached in the power of the Holy Spirit,
something always happens. God said, My word will not return
unto me void. It shall accomplish that whereunto
I have sent it." It may add to your condemnation, it may add
to your judgment, it may increase your responsibility, it may convict
you of sin, it may reveal to you Christ Jesus, it may bring
you to repentance, it may bring you to faith, it may be the Savior
of your soul, and it may damn you. But something is going to
happen, I guarantee you. Nothing happens by accident.
All things work together for good to them that love God, to
them who are called according to his purpose. All things, not
some things, all things. And here a blind man is sitting
by the side of the road at a certain time of day, and Jesus Christ
passed by. What if he'd have stayed home
that day? What if he'd have had a bad cold? What if he had not
been there when Christ passed by? What if he had lived in another
town? What if he had selected another
road? I know he didn't sit in that same place all the time.
Sometimes he begged on 4th Avenue, sometimes he begged on 5th Avenue,
sometimes he begged on 2nd Avenue. But today he was right here on
this road leading out of the town of Jericho. Why? God's purpose,
that's why. A sovereign God put him there.
What if the Savior had taken another road? What if he had
not passed that way? I'll tell you this, there are
no ifs about it. The providence of God, the purpose
of God brings sinners unto the preaching of his word. And the
providence of God and the purpose of God moves a true preacher
who is seeking to preach his message, not what the people
want to hear, not that which will tickle the ear, Not that
which will bring the most money in and most people in, but if
a true preacher of the gospel is seeking to preach the truth
of God's Word, God Almighty will select his topic for him, and
he will preach that message through him, and those people that God
brought to hear it will hear it. It was no accident that our Lord
passed that well on the road outside Samaria. It was no accident
that our Lord came by the place where Matthew was sitting at
receipt of custom. It was no accident that our Lord
passed under that sycamore tree where Zacchaeus was sitting.
And I'll tell you this, you may not hear it, and you may not
believe it. You may not receive it, and you
may, by God's grace, but it's no accident that I'm preaching
what I'm preaching tonight, and the fact that you're here to
hear it. If God will give you ears to hear, our Lord said,
he that hath ears to hear, let him hear. The Bible not only
teaches us how to preach, the Bible teaches people how to hear,
did you know that? Take heed how you hear Christ
said, and take heed what you hear. I'll tell you something
else about this man. Did you notice while Brother
Roach read it? It was the providence of God that led him to this place,
and you know it was only a very short sermon that he heard. He said, what's the commotion?
And somebody said, and this was all they said, Jesus of Nazareth
passeth by. Now that's not a very long sermon,
is it? Jesus of Nazareth, pass it by." That's all he heard,
and he began to cry. He began to cry. When he heard
these words, somebody said, Jesus of Nazareth, pass it by! And
he began to cry, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
What a contrast between him and you, and me. We've been sermonized
until we're sermon-weary, aren't We've been sermonized on Sunday,
and sermonized in Bible conferences, and sermonized on radio, and
sermonized through tapes, but have we heard them? This man
didn't hear much, but he heard it. This man didn't hear a long
sermon, but he heard it. And this short message, this
brief word, did for him what multitudes of sermons and word
have never done for some of us. Do you know what God used to
bring me to some knowledge of his sovereignty and his purpose?
He used one word, and that was the word I heard from the lips
of a human being that turned me to study and turned me to
seeking and turned me to crying to God for a revelation of his
sovereign grace. One word, purpose, that's all
I heard. I heard a man say one time, everything
God does, he does on purpose. That's all I heard. And I'll
tell you it turned my world upside down. But I'll tell you one word
spoken in the power of the Holy Spirit, one word heard under
the direction and leadership of the Holy Spirit is worth ten
million of your gabbing, nothingness words that will only add to men's
condemnation. Just one word. Oh God, send us
one word in the power of thy Spirit and it will do more than
10,000 words. And that's all he heard. Jesus
of Nazareth passeth by. But I'll tell you this, it led
him to seek the Lord. It's tragic, but people today
aren't listening to preachers. And it's the preacher's fault
because they're not saying anything. The average preacher thinks all
in the world he's supposed to do is just get up and read a
text and then start opening his mouth and saying some words.
He's not saying anything. And then the third thing about
this man, the providence of God led him to seek the Lord, and
it was a short sermon that was preached to him, but he began
to cry out, Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus, our son of David, have
mercy upon me. Now watch this. Verse 48, he
received no encouragement from other people. Now this is something
I run into all the time. A fellow comes to a knowledge
of a little bit of scripture and begins to get interested
in the gospel, and he expects everybody to promote him and
push him and encourage him, but they're not going to do it. They're
not going to do it. They don't care if you get religion,
per se. They don't care if you adopt a ceremony or join a denomination,
but this thing of knowing Christ, seeking the Lord, you're not
going to have much help because not many people know him. And
not many people know what it is to seek the Lord. And you'll
become an oddball, you'll become a strange person, you'll become
a radical, you'll become a fanatic, and these people begin to tell
him, now don't get excited, hold your peace! But he cried out the Lord, Jesus,
thy son of David, have mercy on me. He would not be denied. Sitting there in his blindness.
Can you just imagine it? How helpless he was. Sometimes
I try to imagine what it would be like to be blind. Sit there,
just imagine for a moment, sitting there in darkness. All your life
you've never seen the light. You have to have someone help
you to walk, to dress, to eat. And sitting there in your darkness,
helplessness, no hope, you've never seen and probably realize
you never will. But you've heard somewhere about
a man called Jesus who is able to heal the blind. They say that
he healed a man down at Capernaum. They say that he healed a man
in Judea. They say that he healed a man
in Galilee. Oh, if I could get in touch with
that man, Jesus. Here I am in my darkness. No
man can help me. I can't help myself. My parents
can't help me. The people can't help me. The
doctors can't help me. I'm hopelessly blind. I'll never
see the light of day. Never, never, never. And then
I hear a commotion, sitting out there, unexpected. One day out
of hundreds of days, I hear a commotion. I say, what's that? Jesus, what'd
you say? Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Jesus, our son of David! Jesus,
Jesus! Somebody said, be still. Jesus, who are you? Have mercy
on me. Can you imagine that? And I'll tell you this, if you
and I ever, if we ever Realize that that's where we are in darkness.
If we ever realize that we can't help ourselves, and our parents
can't help us, and our neighbors can't help us, and our preacher
can't help us, and we're in the total darkness of death and depravity
and sin, hopelessly, hopelessly lost, and somebody comes by. And you've heard about this man,
Jesus, who died on the cross. And somebody comes by and says,
he's here. What you going to do? Huh? Seek the Lord. I'm telling
you, brother, you'll seek the Lord. And I'll tell you, if you
ever realize, like this blind man, the awful condition you're
in, the impossibility. Christ said, with men it's impossible,
with men salvation's impossible, impossible. You go on and go
to church in your blindness, and you go on and memorize scripture
in your blindness, and you go on and be baptized and go through
the motions in your darkness, and you go on doing all these
things and reading books in your darkness, but oh, if you ever
want to see, you're going to have to get in touch with Him.
Personally, individually, independently, lovingly, willingly, in touch
with Him. He's the only one that can touch
blind eyes and make them see. He's the only one who can unstop
spiritually deaf ears. He's the only one who can make
the lame legs to walk. He's the only one who can bring
the dead out of a spiritual grave. He's the only one! And I know it. And I'm going
to keep seeking Him, seeking Him, seeking Him. Let me take
some scriptures briefly tonight and show you some characteristics
of those who are really seeking the Lord. I'm not talking about
these do-it-yourself religionists and these accepting Jesus experiences
and these walking down the aisle and getting fixed up for glory,
wants for all saved, decisions. I'm talking about a heartfelt,
genuine, sincere, eternal seeking the Lord that results in a saving
relationship. that a man cannot take away from
you. And here's the characteristics
of those people, and I found this in looking through God's
Word. You take your Bible, I want you to mark some scripture. First
scripture is found in 1 Chronicles 16. Now I say this honestly and
sincerely. If you're satisfied with this
other, if you're satisfied with some preacher to shake your hand
and say you're alright, then you rest your eternal soul on
that. If you're satisfied with memorizing
a few doctrines and saying, I'm all fixed up now, OK. If you're
satisfied with the experience that took place when you were
12 years old or 15 years old, you rest in it. But brother,
I'm not. I'm not. I do not want to fall
into the depths of presumption. I want to win Christ and be found
in Him. I want to know Him whom to know
is life eternal. Oh, that I might have some folks
who will seek the Lord. Let's make a covenant to seek
the Lord together. That's what Israel did. Now,
here's the first characteristic of one that seeks the Lord. 1
Chronicles 16, verse 10 and 11. Mark this. 1 Chronicles 16, verse 10 and
11. Mark this. Glory ye in his holy name. Let the heart of them that rejoice
that seek the Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength.
Seek his face continually, continually, continually. Now there are some
who get the spirit of Christmas. I know they mean well. I wouldn't
be critical. Somebody asked me the other day
if I'd gotten the spirit of Christmas yet. Some people get the spirit
of Easter. Some people get the spirit of
a religious holiday. There are those who have moved
during revival services. That's the reason these churches
have revivals twice a year, to get folks worked up in the spirit
of revival. There are those who get interested
in God at a funeral. There are some who have a Sunday
morning religion. They go out every Sunday morning.
That's their duty, that's their responsibility. They go out on
Sunday morning and listen to the preacher and sing a few songs.
But those who seek the Lord, are those who seek him continually. That's right. Like David, they
can say, My soul panteth after thee. Not just on Sunday morning,
but Monday morning and Tuesday morning. My soul thirsteth of
the living God. People who seek the Lord continually
know the meaning of scriptures like these. Rejoice in the Lord
always. And again I say rejoice. Pray
without ceasing. That means to live in an attitude
of prayer. We are always to pray, not just
on Sunday morning, not just Easter, not just Christmas, always. You
know what it says? And not to faint. In everything
give thanks. In everything give thanks. But we're oriented to this. God's
down here in a building. We go to church. This is not
a church. Nowhere in the word of God is
this building ever called a church. Here's the church. A church is
a living, a living organization. The church is where I am. Christ
loved the church. He's not here. He's in my heart. And I don't go down to a building
to meet God. I come down here to meet you
and together to worship God. I can worship God wherever I
am. I seek the Lord continually. Now I'll turn to another scripture,
Psalm 119. Psalm 119, those that seek the
Lord seek him continually. Now here's another scripture
to underline. Verse 2 of Psalm 119, verse 2. Blessed are they, Psalm 119,
verse 2, blessed are they that keep his testimony and that seek
him with the whole heart. With the whole heart. Now, the
heart is not this thing in here that pumps blood. That's not
what we're talking about. We're talking about with the whole
being, with the whole inner man, with the whole soul. That's me,
myself, seeking the Lord, with my whole being. Jeremiah 29 says
this, you shall seek me and find me when you search for me with
all your heart, with a true heart, with a sincere heart. Peter turned
and said, Lord, you know all things, you know I love you. Now, it's never wise to deal
insincerely with anybody. It's unfair and it's ungodly
to be deceitful. and insincere in any kind of
dealings. I don't care whether it's a dealing
of friendship or a dealing of business or dealings of affection
or whatever it is. It's ungodly to be insincere
and deceitful. But woe to the man and woe to
the woman and woe to the young person who plays at seeking God,
who plays at prayer, who makes a mockery of divine worship.
Brother, I'll tell you this. And I say it with all my soul
and all my heart, if you're coming here for any other purpose than
to worship God, for your sake I wouldn't come. If you've got
this Bible open there in your hands and you're reading it for
any other purpose than the glory of God and seeking to know him
from its content, close it for Christ's sake. That's so. And when we bow our heads and
pray, and you can't pray, and you can't seek the Lord in sincerity,
don't call his name. Be a heathen, be an atheist,
be an alien, but don't be a hypocrite. That's what he says here. Listen
to these scriptures. When thou bowest a vow unto God, defer
not to pay it. He has no pleasure in fools.
Better it is not to bow at all. Better it is not to use his name.
Better it is not to call on him. Better it is not to... Come into
his presence. Just stay away. Don't add to
your condemnation by making a mockery of God. God is not mocked. Oh, come. He invites you to come. But come in sincerity. Pray. He invites you to pray. It can
be a fumbling, bumbling prayer. It can be a prayer which can't
even be put into words. But a prayer that can't be put
into words, that comes from a sincere heart, is far better than the
greatest, the greatest rhetorical display of eloquence without
sincerity. Seek the Lord with your whole
heart. And then turn to Psalm 145. Here's
a characteristic of those that seek the Lord. Psalm 145, verse
18. Look at this. They seek Him continually. Not a once-for-all shot. I went
down there while I was in Dale High, Louisiana, and they took
a gun and shot me for the swine flu. I'm not supposed to get
it now. I'm immunized. I'm protected. You don't get
saved that way. No, sirree. I have to go to this
Word every day, don't you? Go to God every day. I seek the
Lord at all times, continually. That's what I'm talking about
with my whole heart. Psalm 145, 18. The Lord is known to them
that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Now, this is important. It's
not enough to have a God. It's not enough to have a religious
profession. It's not enough to live by a
moral code. It's not enough to seek a profession. Eternal life is to know the true
God. Jesus Christ, our Lord, said
to the woman at the well, you worship you know not what.
We know what we worship. Salvation is of the Jews. You
say you worship in this mountain. Somebody else in Jerusalem. They
that worship God worship him in spirit and truth. And so the Father seeketh such
to worship him in truth. Brethren, we must know whom we
have believed. We must know what he did to save
us. We must know why he came to save
us. We must know the true and living
God. How shall they call on him of
whom they've not heard? And how shall they hear of him
without a preacher? You see what I'm saying? It's
to seek the Lord continually, it's to seek the Lord sincerely,
and it's to seek the Lord, the Lord of creation, the Lord of
sovereignty, the Lord of the Holy Scripture, the Lord and
Father of our Saviour Jesus Christ, the Lord who died on the cross,
who was buried rose again, the Lord, not a Lord, the true and
living God. And then look, this is precious
here. Turn to Isaiah 51. They who seek the Lord seek him
continually. They seek him with all their
hearts. They seek the living God. Lord speak. I'll shut my mouth. Tell me who
you are. Reveal thyself to me. I'll believe
thy word. And then they seek him remembering
their sins. Isaiah 51, verse 1, listen to
this, "...hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye
that seek the Lord, look to the rock whence ye are hewn, look
to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Don't forget where
I found you." Don't forget where I found you. Speaking to Israel
here, he says, look to Abraham your father and savor the one
that bear you. I called him alone. I blessed
him. I increased him. Where did you
find him God? I found him in idolatry. I found
him in pagan heathenism. I found him worshiping idols.
It was grace that lifted him up. Paul, always when he gave
his testimony would say this, I obtained mercy. I was a blasphemer,
I was a persecutor, I was injurious, I was this. He always remembered
the pit from which he was taken. He always remembered the condition
in which God Almighty found him. I said this morning, a man will
never go to Calvary until he's been to Sinai. A man will never
go to the throne of grace until God stripped him at the throne
of judgment. A man will never come to Christ for mercy until
he justifies God in his righteousness. And then watch this, in Psalm
27, I've got to hurry, but here's another mark of a man who truly
seeks the Lord. He seeks the Lord continually.
He seeks the Lord sincerely. He's not playing games. Let the
potsherds of this earth strive with the potsherds of the earth,
but let not a man strive with his maker. You play other games,
don't play this game. And then he seeks the Lord in
the next place with a single purpose. Look at David, Psalm
27, verse 4. One thing have I desired of the
Lord. And that will I seek after. Now
stop right there. I don't know you, you don't know
me. We love each other, we're friends,
but you don't know what's going on in here right now and I don't
know what's going on after. But let's stop and ask ourselves, if this
were me talking right here, one thing have I desired of the Lord,
one thing I'm seeking after. Now you stop right there and
tell me what it is. Not out loud, but just tell yourself, what
are you seeking? Are you seeking fame, money, fortune, popularity,
friendship, fellowship? Are you seeking an easier way
in life? Are you seeking more possessions? What do you desire? What are you seeking? Listen
to David. That I may dwell in the house
of the Lord all the days of my life. to behold the beauty of
the Lord and to inquire in his temple. That's it, I think. And I'm saying this, that a man
who's really seeking the Lord, I'm not talking about a fellow
who wants to get fixed up so he won't go to hell. I'm not
talking about a fellow that comes down here to get him an insurance
policy so when he dies everybody says, well, he's made his peace
with God. He's gone to his reward. He's
gone to be with Jesus. I'm talking about a man who says,
this is my single purpose in life. I want to know him. I want to see his glory. Oh,
to see the beauty of the Lord. That's it. And then watch this. Turn to
Isaiah 55, and this is important. I may offend somebody here. I'll try not to. But Isaiah 55,
verse 6. Now watch this right here. Those
who seek the Lord, seek him while he may be found. Now listen to
this. Seek ye the Lord while he may
be found. Call ye upon him while he is
near. Jesus of Nazareth. What did they say to that blind
man? Why did he get in such a hurry? Why was he so impatient? Why
did he not quiet down when people told him to quiet down? Because
he knew the message went this way. Jesus, the Redeemer of Nazareth,
the Anointed One, passes by. He passes by. He'll be gone in
a little while. He's passing by. Reach out and
touch the Lord as he passes by. Seek ye the Lord while he may
be found. You better listen to this point
right here. I don't know where we get the idea. You can get
it from this book. I don't know where we get the
idea that Jesus Christ the Lord has nothing better to do than
hang around outside your heart's door for 59 years waiting on
you to let him in. I don't know where that started.
There's no scripture for that. The scripture speaks in the opposite
tone. The scripture says, Now is the
accepted time. Behold, today is the day of salvation. Isn't that what it says? David wrote in Psalm 63, 1, Early
will I seek thee. Listen to this. Psalm 63, Oh
God, Early will I seek thee. That doesn't mean early when
I'm five years old, or seven years old, or ten years old,
or twelve years old. It means however old I am, when
I come to the consciousness, I need you. When I come to the
awareness of who thou art. When I come to understand what
it means to know God, right then, I'm going to seek you. And I
warn every person here. If God Almighty has been pleased
to say anything to you, or do anything for you, or in any way
make himself known to you, it's a good idea to seek him while
he may be found. He may be passing by. He did
the Pharisees. He passed by and they ridiculed
him, and the disciples said, the Pharisees, you upset them
by what you said. He said, leave them alone. Leave
them alone. He said of Ephraim, leave him
alone, don't bother him, leave him alone, he's gone to his idol.
You read Romans 1 and 2, and three times it says in there,
God gave them up. You read it, three times. Talking
about the skeptics and agnostics, God gave them up. Talking about
these homosexuals, God gave them up. Talking about these covetous
idol worshippers, God gave them up. And God turned them over
to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient.
He gave them up. He passed them by. He judicially
blinded them. One day Saul of Tarsus, who became
Paul, one day Paul said this. He talked to a bunch of Jewish
people. He said, I'll go to the Gentiles. And he turned his back
and walked away. And he went to the Gentiles,
and God judicially blinded the Jew for 1900 years. And I'll
tell you this, if I were you, I'd seek him early. I'd seek
him early. And then in the book of Hebrews
11 verse 6, let me give you this in closing. Hebrews 11 verse
6. And here's the way to seek him.
It's to seek him in faith. In faith. Nothing in my hands
I bring. I'm not bringing my work. I'm
not saying, Lord, if you'll save me, I'll go to Africa as a missionary. God's not going to bargain and
do business that way with you. Lord, I tell you what, if you
let my son live, I'll go to church every Sunday. No, you don't. You come empty-handed. You don't
come bargaining with God. Don't you bring God a contract
and tell him you'll do your part if he'll do his part. That's
ungodly. You come and say, Lord, if you
kill my son and my daughter and my husband, I'm going to love
you anyhow. Though you slay me, I'll trust
you. The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away. Don't you say, Lord,
if you prosper my business, I'll give so much to you. That's ungodly. That's ungodly. And Almighty
God doesn't deal with sinners that way. He doesn't bargain
with sinners. We don't have anything with which
to bargain. I'll tell you when God forgives
a man, when that man has nothing to pay. That's what Scripture
says, when they had nothing to pay, he freely forgave them. This woman with the issue of
blood, she had nothing to bring. Everything else had failed. She said, if I can just touch
him, if I can just touch him. In Hebrews 11, verse 6, it says,
without faith it's impossible to please God. He that cometh
to God must believe. must believe that he is. And he's the diligent rewarder
of them that what? And he rewards them diligently
that what? That seek him. Seek him. I'm not afraid, some of these
preachers may be, I'm not. I'm not afraid to turn a sinner
over to the hands of the Lord. I'm not afraid when sinners come
to me and say, show me how to be saved. Well, I'll preach the
gospel to them, and then I'll say, go home and seek the Lord.
Go home and do business with Christ. Go home and cry out for
mercy at the throne of grace. Seek the Lord. And I say to you
men who are elders in this church and who stand in this pulpit
and preach when I'm away, seek the Lord. Seek the Lord. I say to you men and women who
are 75 years old here tonight and have just a few more years
on this, spend those years seeking the Lord. Don't go back and look
at an experience or a decision or something you did or something
you gave. Just keep on seeking the Lord. And they that seek him, he said,
will be found. Our Father, we're grateful for
Thy presence has been here, and Thou has spoken to us, and we're
undeserving and unworthy. But Lord, You've been pleased
to speak through Your Word. Thou has not left us alone, and
we rejoice and praise Thy name. He gave us a message, O Lord,
that we might have ears now to hear it, and a heart to receive
it, and a will to walk therein. In the name of Christ our Lord
we pray. Amen.
