I’m joining the Five Minute Friday community with Kate Motaung this
weekend…5 minutes, no rewriting, and a one word prompt…
Find
But
if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find Him if you seek Him
with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV
But if from there...
From my lousy day, from my sinful behavior, from where I've wandered from God and gotten lost.
...you seek the Lord your God,...
Because we've never strayed so far that we can't cry out to Him.
...you will find Him...
And He promises that He will never abandon us.
...if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
I wonder...do I? Do I look for God with all of my heart and soul? On those days when I can't feel His presence, could it be because I'm not totally focused on Him? Not with all of my heart and soul?
Lord, You know my days are scattered and hectic. I struggle to quiet my mind and settle my soul, and when I search for You, I confess it's in the midst of my to-do list. Father, please calm my spirit and help me to focus solely on You, so that I can truly seek You with all of my heart and soul. And when I do, I know that I will find You.

In Christ,
Visiting from FMF. Nice transitional writing, weaving two independent thoughts together. Thanks for the insight.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love knowing that you are part of the FMF community too. Seek the Lord in all and stay focused on Him throughout the day is easier said than done. I appreciate your prayer at the end. Blessed you shared this at Weekend Whispers.
ReplyDelete"But if from there" ... oh that is a great part of this verse, one I don't always hear and such a great reminder!!
