The Greatest Blessing that God gives to those who seek Him

G. Paulraj

God will save, keep and satisfy those who seek Him diligently. Those who know the Lord and put their trust on Him will enjoy the above mentioned God’s blessings in their lives. King David experienced God’s blessings although his life because he diligently sought God. God was well pleased with David therefore He called David man after His heart. The greatest blessing that David enjoyed apart from God’s protection, providence was God’s presence. David was afflicted in every way by his enemies but he was not crushed. His enemies had tried to strike him down but he was not destroyed because He sought the Lord always. The secret behind David’s victory over his enemies revealed in Psalms 55:16 he said “As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” God’s constant presence was with David therefore his enemies were not able destroy him.

If God be for us who can be against us? - Who can injure or destroy us? The ungodly people may be against us, and so may Satan the great enemy of our souls, but their power to destroy us is taken away. God is mightier than all our foes; and he can defend and save us; see Psalm 118:6. "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear what man can do unto me." If God is for us, nothing can be against us. All we must do is walk on the path God has designed for us.

David Livingstone, the famous missionary to Africa, returned to England for a brief visit towards the end of his life. He was honored by Queen Victoria and was asked to address the students at Cambridge University. Very simply and very quietly he said to them, "Gentlemen, shall I tell you what it was that kept me true to my resolve through all those years in the Dark Continent? It was the words of our risen Lord, 'Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.'"

God's presence in human experiences is a tremendous and inescapable fact of life. Let me ask you: Are you conscience of the presence of God in your life?  Do you live in the reality of it? Do you enjoy such an experience? If not then this message is for you. This truth and reality of God's inescapable presence got hold of David the Psalmist and it so overwhelmed and overpowered him to seek the Lord diligently all through his life.
