Whole-hearted seeking

“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.” Deuteronomy 4v29

We are no place promised in the word of God that our life was going to be one of ease. We are going to face struggles; they are part of the natural course of life. There are going to be times when we just don’t seem as near to God as we would like.

The problem is that in those times we often don’t want to seek God on His conditions, we want to seek Him on our conditions. Often Christians seek God half-heartedly, trying to reserve things for themselves.

How do we find God in the dark, troublesome hours? How do we restore that closeness to Him?

We must learn to seek Him with ALL our heart and ALL our soul. We must ne willing to let everything go in our desire to find Him, His presence, and His leadership.

In every situation may we seek God whole-heartedly.
