Where are my Keys!!!

Where are my Keys!!!

Monday morning, I'm late for work, and I can't find my pants. "Honey, where are my pants", oh, that's right, I found them. Ok, hmm where is my cell-phone? In the bathroom where you left it. Got it. Oh, no my car keys. I can't find my car keys. Honey, did you see my car keys? I don't know; where did you leave them last? If I knew; would I be asking? Hmm, the only reason, I went out yesterday was to church. We got home, and I put my bible on the table. That's right I put my keys on the table also. There they are under my bible.

Always go back to where you were last to find what you are missing.

Look Where You Lost Him

I sought him, but found him not.

Song of Songs 3:1

Tell me where you lost the company of Christ, and I will tell you the most likely place to find Him. Have you lost Christ in the closet by restraining prayer? Then it is there you must seek and find Him. Did you lose Christ by sin? You will find Christ in no other way but by the giving up of the sin, and seeking by the Holy Spirit to mortify the member in which the lust dwells. Did you lose Christ by neglecting the Scriptures? You must find Christ in the Scriptures. It is a true proverb, "Look for a thing where you dropped it—it is there." So look for Christ where you lost Him, for He has not gone away.

But it is hard work to go back for Christ. John Bunyan (“The Pilgrim’s Progress”) tells us that the pilgrim found the piece of the road back to the Arbor of Ease, where he lost his roll, the hardest he had ever traveled. Twenty miles onward is easier than to go one mile back for the lost evidence. Take care, then, when you find your Master, to cling close to Him.

But how is it you have lost Him? One would have thought you would never have parted with such a precious friend, whose presence is so sweet, whose words are so comforting, and whose company is so dear to you! How is it that you did not watch Him every moment for fear of losing sight of Him? Yet, since you have let Him go, what a mercy that you are seeking Him, even though you mournfully groan, "O that I knew where I might find Him!"

Go on seeking, for it is dangerous to be without your Lord. Without Christ you are like a sheep without its shepherd, like a tree without water at its roots, like a withered leaf in the storm—not bound to the tree of life. With your whole heart seek Him, and He will be found by you. Only give yourself thoroughly up to the search, and truly you shall yet discover Him to your joy and gladness.
