Moses knew his days were nearing an end.
He knew the Israelites would soon be following another leader,
entering the Promised Land without him;
and he knew that along the way they would lose sight of God.
The worship of wood and stone would become a norm for the people who had been led through the wilderness by the One and Only Living God.
And he knew they needed to know what to do in the midst of dark days when God would scatter them among people who did not share their faith.
So he gave a sort-of State of the Union address before saying goodbye to the people he loved so dearly.
And in his speech he used a phrase that caught my eye this morning......
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.
Deut. 4:29
I'm just wondering this morning if you ever find yourself losing sight of God.
Do you ever get caught up in the worldly idol worship of materialism, sports, technology, friendships, and the list goes on and on??
I sure do.
I am so guilty of getting my
priorities all messed up,
and this morning God caught my
attention with four words.......
BUT IF FROM THERE.
Seek Him.
I think that's what God asks of me today.
I think that's what He asks of you.
No matter what surrounds you today.
No matter how many things are competing for your attention.
SEEK THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.......
BUT IF FROM THERE.
If you do, He makes an amazing promise!!!
YOU WILL FIND HIM!!
I'm seeking Him today.........from there.
