Hide and Seek
Katlyn Dean 
It's probably been a while since you've played a game of "hide and seek," but can you remember what fun it was? Looking for the perfect hiding place. Not moving a muscle so that you wouldn't give away your hiding place. The rush of adrenaline when you were finally found. And then there were all those amateur detective skills you had to put into use when it was your turn to be "it." Watching for the slightest clue that would reveal a player's location: a piece of clothing sticking out of a closet door, a pile of laundry piled a little too high, a slight movement behind the curtains. While most people who play "hide and seek" don't want to be found, if you ever play the game with God you'll soon discover that he doesn't really know the rules. Instead of making himself hard to find, God always seems to give himself away. Sometimes he makes it impossible to miss him!
Isaiah 65:l "I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me.
To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, 'Here am I, here am I." No matter how much we hide from God, he is always seeking us. If your relationship with God has been a little more "hiding" than "seeking" lately, remember that He is always there waiting for us to seek Him.
Please pray with me- Dear God,
Thank you for seeking us when we hide and finding us even when we don't want to be found. Help us to remember that you are always there by our side.
In Your name we pray, Amen
