Deuteronomy 4:29-31

"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.
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the Lord they God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, not forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them."
Deuteronomy 4:29-31


It seems like the trick to finding God is to throw every particle of yourself into the search.  Often, we hold something back, saving it in case our petition fails... but that isn't faith. :)  In my life, I think I have learned the most about the Lord when I have been desperate... when there was absolutely nothing else that could help me, when I needed God more than I needed anything.  And, although that is pretty true all the time, rarely do we approach God with that kind of focus and intensity of purpose.  Often, our hearts and souls are on a different topic when our lips are speaking to God.  When things get rough, God will be there... he can always be found, if we are serious about finding him.  It isn't something to be taken lightly. :)  It requires commitment on our parts... and some consistency of thought and action, which we rarely require of ourselves.  Instead of waiting until things get desperate, let's try to have some of that intensity of purpose today as we include God in our daily walk.  Find him... and stay with him.
