Deuteronomy 4:29

But from there you will seek the Lord your God,

and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.

Recently my husband Jeff and I were cleaning a portion of the garage. We spent several hours pulling out old boxes, sorting old papers, and filling up the trash cans. I noticed that Jeff had set aside an envelope, very faded, but otherwise in good condition. Curious, I opened it and discovered that it contained an important document that I thought I had lost 15 years ago. I was overwhelmed.

I Chronicles 28:9

…If you seek Him, He will let you find Him…

A few Sundays ago my pastor told about baptizing his seventy-year-old brother. The brother had been seeking for many years and after much preparation, was baptized in the Mississippi River. His picture on the screen displayed abundant joy.

Proverbs 8:17

“I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me.”

Why is this theme prevalent throughout Bible history? Because it rings true. God is always going to be there. He is patiently waiting for us to look for Him.

Matthew 7:7

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you..”

Lord, these are hard times for many of us. And our own efforts are not working. We need to seek you, because your word promises that we will find you. Open our eyes, Lord so that we may indeed find you. Amen.
