Searching: Looking Out My Window For The End Of The Rainbow.

SEARCHING… LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW FOR THE END OF THE RAINBOW?

WINGS SPEAK OF SEARCHING FOR BETTER. SEARCHING BY PRAYER. WINGS SPEAK OF LIFE’S JOURNEY TO FOCUS ON PRIORITIES. IF ONLY I HAD WINGS I WOULD FLY AWAY… WINGS TEACH US OF GROWTH AND FREEDOM.

To fly away in the Bible speaks of HOPE, PEACE AND CHANGE. We are daily in spiritual storms and struggles. God did not design his people to live in stress and carry heavy loads. We must trust God’s plan and purpose no matter what happens. WINGS SPEAK OF FINDING IMPROVEMENT FOR A BETTER WAY OF LIFE.

Psalm 55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

We must exercise and strengthen our wings. It is your spiritual duty to keep your wings under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and to keep your wings clean and ready.

SEARCHING… COMES IN 3 LEVELS… 1. ASK (request, say, inquire), 2. SEEK (attempt to find, achieve.), 3. KNOCK, to wait at the door, get attention.)

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

STAYING WITH THE THEME OF GROWTH. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING…

1939 was a pivotal year. The famous movie was recorded, THE WIZARD OF OZ. Everyone was searching for something. There was a journey to make, but the whole journey was about SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING. Not everyone is searching for the same thing.

*THE SCARECROW wanted a brain. (Many people live their whole life without using their brain.)

*THE LION wanted courage.

*THE TIN MAN wanted a heart. (ALL OF THESE REQUEST ARE GOOD AND NORMAL.)

*DOROTHY wanted to GO HOME…

After the long, hard journey facing many perils and hardships --- THE ANSWER WAS EACH PERSON HAD THEIR SOLUTION WITHIN THEIR PROBLEM.

ARE WE GROWING BY SEARCHING FOR MORE? THERE IS A RAINBOW. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE RAINBOW LOOKING DOWN. IF WE SEARCH THERE IS A TOKEN… A VISIBLE, TANGIBLE SIGN.

Genesis 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

FOOLISH SEARCHING… CAN WE GROW BY CHASING RAINBOWS? HOW MANY ARE CHASING A POT OF GOLD?

For several hundred years we have an expression that there is a POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW.

We tend to day dream of fulfillment, success, joy, happiness, wealth, health, popularity and fame. THE HOPE OF THE AGES is more than a pot of gold at the rainbow’s end.

Let us be completely honest there IS A GREAT APPEAL OF SOMETHING THAT HAS GREAT PROMISE. The pot of gold is very attractive and greatly to be desired but YOU CAN NEVER ATTAIN OR ACHIEVE THAT. SEEMS MANY ARE SEARCHING FOR THE ELUSIVE END OF THE RAINBOW TO RECEIVE THEIR POT OF GOLD?

SEARCHING FOR ALL THE RIGHT THINGS IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES?

VANITY? VANITY? VANITY! SOLOMON’S SEARCH… FOR HIS PURPOSE IN LIFE…

HE SEARCHED FOR PLEASURE

Ecclesiastes 2:1 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

HE SEARCHED FOR LAUGHTER, JOY, FUN.

2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
