Shopping .....

Shopping...

The news reported that December 26 is a bigger shopping day than Black Friday or cyber Monday with better deals and bigger discounts...and now you can even exchange those gift cards you don't want at certain stores...so shop til you drop again this season.....
I know a sweater I had my eye on is  a fourth of the price is was earlier...so now is the time to get it before they are completely gone and if it isn't there, I guess I wasn't  supposed to have it ...I hope the laborer who made it got paid fairly wherever that was..

Shopping for needs, wants, desires ....takes discretion, picking and choosing from so many choices...what will this person or that really want or need? What do I really need or want?  Not much...really...in reality...

Shopping for , seeking out takes diligence...we not only need or want "things", we seek out life's answers....we  may shop around in different "religions".. Looking for the answers to our life's cares and purpose...

God has our answers, our purpose...He promises to be found when  we seek Him...they are found in none other...life itself is found in no other or no other thing...He is our creator and lover of our souls...

Thank YOU for being our Answer, our Promise...

Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 

Amos 5:14 Seek good, not evil, that you may live.Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. 

Proverbs 14:32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God. 

Psalm 63:1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched landwhere there is no water. 

Acts 17:24-27 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.
 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 
God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
