What are you seeking?As we continue to look at the lives of those mentioned in Hebrews, and continue to dwell on the promises of the word of God as seen in the Psalms, life begins to come to a much more clear focus. Twice in our passage this week we are told that these individuals are either seeking or longing for a country of their own. They feel as if they are strangers and aliens on this earth. Today it seems the opposite strategy is being implemented by many people. The search is on for how to fit in, to find one’s place in life (or work or school or church or ??). We do all of this searching when what God wants is for us to see our place with HIM. Once that is established the rest seems to fall into place. Once we have been touched by God we now both long for and seek HIM. We should feel like aliens and strangers in this world we live in. We have no need for the spoils of this world; our true desire is for His world, and He has given us the tools to be part of that world. It is Christ alone these people were waiting for and we also seek to meet. He reminds us to seek His face in Romans 12:2, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This is what these people in Hebrews have done. They have turned over their will and agenda to Christ and allowed God to set HIS will and agenda in their lives, giving them that feeling of longing and looking for Christ.
