“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 NIV

Don’t wonder where God is when adversity strikes, if all along you’ve been pushing Him away. God doesn’t hide from us and He doesn’t make it difficult to be found by us. God is there when we need Him but He does not interject Himself into our affairs if He is uninvited, unwelcome, or unacknowledged. When life has you pushed against the wall, you will find Him but when your heart is open to Him.

If we need God but we feel like He is nowhere to be found, it is likely that we have not been intentionally seeking Him. God is found when we sincerely seek Him with all our heart because He will not intervene where He is not wanted.

Diamonds and minerals are of great value to our world but they are not things we easily gather. It takes a great effort of exploring and digging to possess these things. So it is with man’s search for God. If you desire a relationship with the Creator of the universe, explore and dig into the pages of the Bible, reflect on the beauty of creation, and reach out to Him in prayer.
