Deuteronomy 4:29
Seek God and You Will Find Him
29 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.
Jeremiah 29:13
Seek God and You Will Find Him
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Two verses about seeking God are by Moses, and one by the Prophet Jeremiah...They both tell us we need to seek God with our heart...When we seek God with our hearts, we will find Him...The Bible tells us this...
Sometimes as St. Augustine said long ago, our souls get too cramped...I take this to mean that many things are going on each day in our lives...Our lives get busy and God seems to get pushed to one side or the other...And the day has passed and we have missed Him that day with the activities that we are doing...And if we follow that same daily routine, we may miss Him tomorrow and the next day...
But God in His wisdom in these everyday activities of life is looking and seeking us, also...He sends the Holy Spirit to guide us to Him, and to the Truth of all matters...And yet, we press on with what is on earth and the earthly things and activities that we do that very much keep us occupied and might keep Him absent...God is watching all our activities and is there if we are seeking Him, and He is absent if we are not looking or are too busy for Him with what we are currently doing...
