My word speaks highly of seekers. It gives them encouragement, and promises that if they seek they will find. Do you understand that this is a continual, ongoing process? You must be a seeker before you become a believer. Have you noticed that not all seekers are believers, and not all believers continue to be seekers? You can have hope for the unbelieving seekers, that their quest will continue and be fruitful. What hope do you have for those who even as believers cease to be seekers? This is a recipe for a faith that is stagnant and dead. The abundant life I give is in continuing to follow me. Believe in me and keep seeking. 

Do you pray to get what you want? There are plenty of Bible verses to support this position, and many Christians make it their primary focus in prayer. Have you tried this yourself? How did it work out for you? Is there another way? Another approach to prayer is to make yourself present and aware, that you may see what I am already doing. I am already involved in whatever you are concerned about. If you see it you can understand the direction your prayers should take. So this is not a passive and indifferent approach. Prayers that you know are according to my will have greater focus and fervency. 

Do you prefer to minister to those within your own faith? In my time on earth I pointed out that God sent Elijah and Elisha to heal outsiders when there were plenty of poor sick people in Israel. This did not go over well with my audience. Those with whom you agree may be comfortable because they are familiar, but God loves all people. Jonah had to learn this lesson the hard way. It is not clear from his story that he ever did. I commend those who are equipped for every good work and refer to them as vessels of honor. This isn’t just what you do but for whom you do it. If you want to be one of these expand the circle of people you will minister to. 

I told Moses to take off his shoes because he was standing on holy ground. Jacob camped at a desolate spot and was surprised that I was there and he had not known it. Is the concept of holy ground more often my idea, or yours? For people living on the earth and attaching importance to places, it is helpful to think that certain properties belong to a certain place. A more advanced spiritual concept is that I created the whole earth and inhabit all of it. Then your encounters with me are more a matter of your perception and readiness than your latitude and longitude. If being in a certain place is helpful in seeking me then by all means go there.
