These three words, seek, search, and find, are connected and have one destination. God. It shows how important it is to build a relationship with Him.
Seek:
Psalm 63:1-8 (AMP) 1 O GOD, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. 2 So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. 4 So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. 5 My whole being shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips 6 When I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches. 7 For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice. 8 My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.
Search:
John 5:39 (AMP) You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!
Find:
Jeremiah 29:11-13 (KJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For everyone that asketh; and he that knocketh it shall be opened.
