Bumper Sticker

A bumper sticker I saw today on the way to work:

Follow those who seek God,
Run from those who find Him.

I saw this and you know how sometimes you see/read something that puts you on auto-defense.. That was me this morning.
But then I began to think, can that be right? and I thought no because the word says - If we seek Him with all our heart we will find Him: Jeremiah 29:12.
The whole point is to seek Him and find Him. But could what that persons sticker be referring to are the people who stop seeking when they find Him - is that the danger they see? Because truly that is when our faith walk becomes dangerous is when we stop walking because we think we've accomplished the goal.

Interestingly, Paul never says find Him and you're done.. He says press on towards the mark - it's a perpetual walk one that won't end till Christ returns and we are caught up with Him, till we are perfected with Christ.

But in the meanwhile what are our attitudes and actions showing people like my friend the Volvo driver? What does your life show? That you are seeking to find Him; or that you have sought and think you found and are content to remain there?

There's no status quo (to keep things the way they presently are) in our spiritual lives. If we are not seeking then we are falling behind. Just like a plant that is ever growing though you may not see the daily changes, when it fails to grow it begins to die.. also slowly - it can be revitalized and brought back to health but it is an ever present choice that the Maker made and the Child embraces.
