My Lectio reflection from this morning.
Verse
“When you come looking for me, you’ll find me.“Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God ’s Decree.“I’ll turn things around for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you”— God ’s Decree—“bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it. (Jeremiah 29:13, 14 MSG)
My Word or Phrase
Seriously seeking God
My Image
I am playing a game of hide and seek with God. God is the hider and I am the seeker. Neither of us are any good at the game. God is “hiding” in plain sight and I am “seeking” with my eyes closed. I’m not very serious about find he who is hiding.
My Invitation
To open my eyes and seek after God seriously.
To often I go through life seeking God but my eyes are closed so I don’t see him, my ears are closed so I don’t hear him, my life is to busy so I can’t experience the things God has for me. I need to step out with my eyes open, my ears attuned to that still small voice, and taking the time to experience the life God has for me.
How serious are you about seeking after God? What’s standing in your way to seek after God fully?
