An interesting quirk of humanity is that we seek. We look for the best sports players, the best writers, the best novel, the best grade, the best school, the best way to write a paper and so on. Always seeking after something.
God came before Abram and said to him, “I am the Lord your God.” God came and found. When God came to Moses and said, “I am the Lord your God,” God came and found. When God came to Samuel and said, “I am the Lord you God,” God came and found. When Jesus came to the disciples and said, “Follow Me,” He came and found. In fact, the big phrase of God’s servants throughout the Old Testament is, “Here am I Lord.”
Here am I Lord.
God, who is above all and whom we seek, came to us. The oldest models of faith did not go out to locate God – He came to them. God moved toward them. Their fame rests in having declared there presence to God.
God, “Who will go?”
Isiah , “Here am I Lord. Send me, though I may be a man on unclean lips.”
By all rights we should have to look for God and He should sit and wait. He is the one whom we should serve. He is superior; we are inferior. But He seeks after us. We seek after a lot of things. God desires us so greatly that we are blessed beyond all understanding. God became man to seek us more fully. Once He was there people began pouring out of every place to seek Him there. Out of love for us God sought us.
We should be seeking Him, but He sought us first. The one who is superior came to find the ones who are inferior. Above and beyond what any would deem the proper behavior of a supreme being God came to us. Supremacy sits enthroned on high. Love is nailed to a cross. It is not merely that God is supreme or that God is love. It is that in His supremacy He loves enough to die. He is the one whom we should seek and love, yet He is the one who has sought after us – to love us.
