Then this devotion was sent to me without the sender even knowing what I had asked. I felt Jesus was saying that just as in Laodicea, so it is in the United States. We brag about our wealth, prosperity, and religious fervor, but... Laodiceans (and the USA) had every right to be proud, and apparently they were. That’s why Jesus’ words to Christians in that city had a sharp sting: “You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.” (Revelation 3:17-18) Lord forgive us for our pride, and heal our land. God bless you. I asked the Lord why it is that every time I hear a certain person say, “America is the most blessed nation in the world,” I get a knawing in my spirit.

We can't see Him with our eyes, can we? For me, seeking Jesus means getting to know Him-His life, His ministry, the message of the cross-all these and more. But more than that-it means my willingness to talk and listen to Him, and be willing to do and go-whatever He says to do and wherever He says to go. Trust and obedience. So far, seeking Him has been a lot of emotions, and a lot of experiences-some not so good. But, seeking Him has been an adventure that I would and do ask for every morning-bring it, Lord, 'cause I love it, and I love Jesus! Seek Jesus-what does that mean?
