SEEK and ye shall find. Too many of us seem to think that high attainment in the Christian life comes accidentally or suddenly. This is a mistake, and a sad one. It is one that Satan delights to have us make. If he can keep us of this opinion, rest assured that he will. No great thing is done in this life, even, without great effort. God would have us exert our physical powers, and blesses us with strength in consequence of the effort put forth. So in matters spiritual, he would have us strive to enter in. Seek and ye shall find. Let us then not look listlessly on and wish that we had faith, and power with God and man, but let us seek for this power and we will find it. For, while God requires exertion, he cheers us with the blessed assurance that if we seek we shall find. This ought to be enough for us. If we are engaged in an earthly enterprise, the possibility of failure adds heavily to the burdens already borne. If the struggling merchant could be assured that finally he would come out financially sound, he would bear present reverses with a light heart. It is that fearful dread of coming failure that crushes him and makes him unfit to make the best of the resources still left. Well, no matter how dark it is, no matter how little we have done so far in life, if we seek we shall find. With the joy born of a consciousness of final victory, let us then, in Christ, earnestly seek for the highest attainments in the Christian life.—Christian Home.
