" No one seeks for God,” Paul says (v. 11b). No natural person, outside of regeneration, searches for God. People are desperately seeking peace of mind, relief from guilt, meaning, significance, and value to their lives. All the while, they’re running as fast as they can from God. God is not hiding; it’s not that He can’t be found. It’s not our nature to seek God—it is our fallen nature to flee from Him. "
