Luke 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,
  which shall not be taken away from her.

Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him,
  and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

Psalm 63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for
   thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou
  shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

2 Chronicles 15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God
   of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

Ezra 8:22 …The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but
   his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

Psalm 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
   see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
They sought Jesus
  They found Jesus
They worshipped Jesus
Wise Men who were seeking Jesus in order
                 to worship Him
  Herod who saw Jesus as a threat and
                wanted to kill Him
  The religious leaders who put forth no
 effort to find Him even though He was very
                      near
See Him as threat to your selfish rule
                of self
 Oblivious to Him even though you
  have been given every opportunity
 A wise man who will truly seek Him
