Default Problem with using variable in Find statement

I am writing a macro to locate the current date (in form mm/dd/yy) from a
column of dates in column A1. I am using a variable that is set to the value
of cell G1 that uses the NOW function to return the current date. However,
the Find method does not seem to like a variable. Below is the code I am
currently using to locate the current date. When I run this I get an error,
please help!

Dim LookFor
LookFor = Range("G1").Select
Range("A1").Select
Cells.Find(What:=LookFor, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:=_
False).Activate
