“Seek the place where I will Put my name”

Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it shall be opened.

Deuteronomy 12:4-5 “Do not do so to יהוה your Elohim, but seek the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His Name there, for His Dwelling Place, and there you shall enter.

Seek: To look for or search for something or for answers.

seek, enquire, require, search

Commentary: A search for the meaning of a story.

From G1537 ek; a preposition meaning, origin; and G2212; to search out, that is, (figuratively) investigate, crave, demand, (by Hebraism) worship: - en- (re-) quire, seek after (carefully, diligently).

Hebrews 11:6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God. For the one who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

We are to seek Him diligently

We are to seek Him early.

We are to seek Him earnestly.

We are to seek Him perseveringly.

“Then shall they seek him, and find him, if they seek him with all their heart.”

Psalms 105:1-7 Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name, Make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; Speak of all His wonders. Make your boast in His set-apart Name; Let the hearts rejoice of those seeking יהוה. Seek יהוה and His strength; Seek His face always. Remember His wonders which He has done, His miracles, and the right-rulings of His mouth, O seed of Aḇraham His servant, Children of Ya‛aqoḇ, His chosen ones! He is יהוה our Elohim; His right-rulings are in all the earth.
