We looked at this verse recently:
"you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul." ~Deuteronomy 4:29
I am sad to say that yesterday I failed here. I did pray yesterday, and I also read my Bible. Yet when the day was over I felt in my heart that something was lacking.
You see, I understand that when I have a personal encounter with God I am filled with a sense of fulfillment, and that sense of fulfillment often lasts until I wake up the next day. Yesterday however, I did not have a personal encounter with God, and therefore I did not have this overwhelming sense of fulfillment. What went wrong?
The answer is simple. Yes, I prayed and studied the Bible. But when the day was over I knew the truth: I did not seek Him "with all of my heart." And therefore, I did not find Him. I hope not to make that mistake again.
Do you truly believe that you will find God if you seek him with all your heart? For that is the crucial test. If we believe it, we will surely do it. If we don't believe it, we won't waste our time.
So...Do you believe it?
With His love,
Charlie
