The King Beckons ..........

What are you doing with the invitation from the King?
You drop everything you're doing and you re-schedule your priorities so you will be able to make it to HIS presence.

"You will seek ME and find ME when you search for ME with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13)

While we can be assured of "finding GOD", this verse also gives a key condition. The condition is to search for HIM "with all your heart". We cannot find GOD if we are not seeking HIM with all our heart. It will be native on our part to think that we could just experience intimacy without giving GOD all our heart.

"Then they will call on me, but i will not answer, they will seek me diligently but they will not find me" (Proverbs 1:8)

"All our heart" does not refer to diligence (in effort or action) alone. It is an issue of complete dedication (heart) to the person. And it is best reflected in our attitude.

"Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD" (Proverbs 1:29)

The attitude needed would be "fear of the LORD" ie a deep reverence for HIM

Can Intimacy and Fear go hand in hand?
Yes, fear of the LORD is the key to intimacy because it ensures we hate sin and all the things that turn the King's face away from us
We cannot enter HIS presence with a casual attitude and expect GOD to come near.
