The Lord will find you when you search for Him with all your heart.
The Lord’s insight. I will find you when you seek Me.
Jeramiah 29:13: “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
James 4:8: “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
Now I don’t know much about the things people consider gods. But I know this about our God. He is the ONLY living God. Anything else that would call itself a god or that we would refer to as a god is dead. Nothing that is dead can be drawn to that which is alive.
We should find comfort in knowing that our God is alive. And He acts to be close to us while we are here on earth. He does not sit by just waiting for us to come to Him. He is not sitting in the last place that we left Him waiting for us to come back to Him.
The idols or other gods we serve have meaning only because we give them meaning. We do not need our gods or our idols to sustain our lives. They live only because we allow them to live in our own lives. But our God is alive apart from us but just for us.
He gives us our meaning. If He does not live, we cannot live. He does not sit on our mantels. He does not exist in our workmanship. He is never far from us even though we may feel far from Him. Why is this so?
Well, because the Lord is drawn to us through our needs for Him. We move towards Him anytime we recognize in our hearts that we need Him. You can be laying on your sickbed but when you recognize you need the Lord, He moves towards you.
It is by design that God does not make it hard for us to find Him. The Lord lives in the heart of our search for Him. This is why we can always find Him nearer than we think. When we get close to God, He comes close to us.
Jeremiah 29:13 is saying to us when we realize God is waiting for us to look for Him, we will find Him. We don’t need to hang onto something that represents Him. He is not in the cross around your neck. He is not in the painting over your fireplace. He is in the middle of the heart the one who is looking for Him.
So, we don’t need to place Him in a place where we can hang onto Him because He lives within us in a place where He can hang on to us. He lives in our hearts. The Lord keeps things simple for us. If we draw ourselves as close to Him as we can, He will come closer to us.
We are moved to act because of our needs. The Lord is moved to act because of our needs. Don’t keep your needs to yourself. Whatever it is that you need today, put it in the front seat of your car and head towards the Lord. He is drawn to you when you do this.
And if you do this, you will find Him. Right there in your heart. Perhaps we should see it this way. Instead of having a cross around our necks to remind us of His love, we should know that He has a cross with our names on it around His neck to remind Himself of His love for us.
Because He lives, He is always aware when we seek Him. When we seek Him, this is the time that He will seek us. When you seek Him, He will find you. He is drawn to our lives by His Love for our needs.
