SEEKING GOD
"You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."
Jer 29:13 NKJV
SEEKING GOD
God instructs us to seek Him, but not as though He is hiding from us. When we seek God, we make a decision that's necessary for bringing us into the spiritual realm. Some levels of blessing are never received unless they are diligently sought. It's your seeking after God that moves Him to respond. "But without faith it is impossible to please Him" (Heb 11:6). There are no manuals that instruct us step by step as to the proper way to seek the Lord. Some people seek Him quietly, with soft tears falling down a weary face. Others seek Him by walking the sandy beaches of a cove, gazing into the swelling current of an evening tide. Some raise their hands and praise Him with loving expressions of adoration. There are no rules, just that you seek Him with your whole heart. What does it mean to seek God "with all your heart"? It's giving Him your full attention and removing all distractions so that you can focus on Him. Imagine dropping a contact lens on the floor, or a precious stone from a ring and saying, "No problem, I'll just look for that later." No, the value you place on something determines the intensity with which you seek it. When you pray, "Lord, I need you; I won't make it without you," you are praying "with all your heart." And God answers such praying, "I will be found by you" (Jer 29:14 NKJV).
