Psalm 119:155 What Are You Seeking?

Salvation is far from the wicked,
 for they do not seek out your decrees.
Psalm 119:155

If I was the driver of the white car in that picture of a switchback mountainous road, I'd be seeking a quick and safe way to get off that road.

But maybe that driver has a good reason to be on that road. Maybe the driver is seeking something that can only be gained by continuing to travel on that treacherous road.

What might it be?

What are you seeking on the road of life?

Many psychologists say most of us are forever seeking something we feel like we lost or never quite found as young children. It might be something quite different for each of us, although there are many common things people are looking for.

Maybe you're seeking the safety of people you feel you can trust, because you were lied to and betrayed when you were young.

Perhaps you're seeking the kind of close relationships you envy in other people's lives, the kind that have so often eluded you.

It could be you were born with a physical disability of some kind and have been hoping to find a way to be the person your heart hungers to be, but your body or brain have held you back.

God has been seeking you since you were a child. He wants to share His heart with you, and he provided His Word so you could search through its pages to discover His heart.

The best way to find what you seek is by seeking the heart of God. That's what we've all been searching for.

I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her finger tips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Oh my shame, you know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
