“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. ‘I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord (Jeremiah 29:13-14).
Why does it seem like every time I go to look for something, I can never find it? Even though I have assigned places where I put certain things, it’s still a struggle for me to find some of them when I need to.
Many times, I’ll put something in a specific place in order to remember where it is when I need it. Unfortunately when the time comes, I can’t seem to remember where that specific place was. Does this sound familiar to you, or am I the only one who struggles with this problem?
Losing Patience In The Search
Now that I’m getting older I find myself searching for things more and more, and it wastes a lot of my time. As a result I lose patience, and I will only search for the item so long before taking a break or giving up.
Fortunately, God is not that hard to find. The Bible says; “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth” (Psalms 145:18). I am thankful God makes it easy for us to find Him when we seek Him with all our hearts, (and not only when we need something.)
Seeking, And Finding God Gives A Sense Of Security
Every day I seek and call on my heavenly father to let Him know I am thankful and acknowledge that He is there with me, and for me. Even though I can’t physically see where He is, I don’t give up seeking for Him as I would anything else. Instead, I cling to His promises; that He is always with me, and He will always love me. In knowing that I find my security, and it makes me want to pursue Him more and more each day.
Lord, I pray we would always trust you and search for you. May we never let our impatience cause us to take a break, or give up on you. I Thank you for your faithfulness to us each day.
Do you pursue God everyday?
