And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV)
God offers His exiled people hope and restoration in the twenty-ninth chapter of Jeremiah. They might be wondering whether God still remembered them because they were in a strange place and faced uncertainty. God, however, tells them that He had good things planned for them.
You Will Seek ad Find Me…
Our main text, verse 13, then contains another lovely conditional promise from God. He desires our sincere and passionate pursuit of Him—not with vacuous endeavors or preoccupied thoughts, but with unwavering dedication.
Even while we yearn for God’s presence, we occasionally fail to give Him our whole attention since we live in a period of ceaseless entertainment, hectic schedules, and incessant noise. Fortunately, God promises to show Himself to us when we consciously turn to Him and prioritize Him over all else.
With all Your Heart
Do we focus entirely on God all the time? Is he the center of our worship, Bible study, and prayer? We need to pause and concentrate on God’s presence in our lives. We start to feel God’s love, serenity, and guidance in deeper, more meaningful ways when we offer Him our whole heart.
Have we been preoccupied in any one area of our lives? Have we allowed the clamor of life to drown out His quiet, little voice? Let us make a commitment to pursue God fervently for us to know Him better and feel His presence, not only during times of need but at every moment.
Prayer
Dear God, please enable me to seek after You with my whole heart so that I can find serenity in Your presence.
