Matthew Henry wrote of these verses that "Now his patience is waiting on us, his word is calling to us, and his Spirit striving with us. Let us now improve our advantages and opportunities; for now is the accepted time."

Seeking after Christ will not always be easy, nor will it always be convenient, but it is the right thing to do.

"The promise is made, and made so as exactly to answer the precept.... Ask, and it shall be given you; not lent you, not sold you, but given you; and what is more free than gift? Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, whatever you ask, shall be given you, if God see it fit for you, and what would you have more? It is but ask and have; ye have not, because ye ask not, or ask not aright: what is not worth asking, is not worth having, and then it is worth nothing. Seek, and ye shall find, and then you do not lose your labour; God is himself found of those that seek him, and if we find him we have enough. “Knock, and it shall be opened; the door of mercy and grace shall no longer be shut against you as enemies and intruders, but opened to you as friends and children. It will be asked, who is at the door? If you be able to say, a friend, and have the ticket of promise ready to produce in the hand of faith, doubt not of admission. If the door be not opened at the first knock, continue instant in prayer; it is an affront to a friend to knock at his door, and then go away; though he tarry, yet wait.”" (Matthew Henry)

During the times when we’re missing Christ’s p

During the times when we’re missing Christ’s presence in our life, or “not feeling it”, it is very likely because we are not actively looking for Him.

So where should we go to seek after Christ?

In such times, we must, like the people described in John 6:24, go on the search.
“When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.” (John 6:24).

The people didn’t just say, “Well, Christ isn’t here, guess we’ll just head home now and go back to our old life,” no, they got in a boat and went to the most likely place where they thought He would be.

How does this apply to our present day?

We should go to the places where Christ is most likely to be found – in His church and with His people.

We should daily seek Him out through the pages of His Word.
