I Find You

No matter where I find myself, the one steadfast truth is that I will find God there too.  Despite what I may be going through, I can find peace and rest knowing that my God is already there; He is not only with me and surrounding me, but He is within me.  I am not my own, and I am so grateful for that.  


The truth of the matter is that times can get tough.  My faith may waiver, my convictions may wane, but my God is a strong and mighty refuge.  Some days all I can do is fall to my knees, feeling hopeless, but that is exactly where I find Him.  I find Him where I am, wherever that may be.  I look for God in every situation because He is there.  Nothing will ever keep me from my God for He is in everything I do.  It may not always be easy to feel His presence, but faith is knowing and believing that He is right there, bringing me through whatever it may be.  He meets us right where we are at, and that is truly all I need.


When troubles come and doubt may cloud the way, I find Him.  No matter what it takes, I find Him.  He is there, waiting for me to seek out His embrace.  God is in the business of supplying, but I must seek out His supply and begin to apply it, for the relationship to work.  This is true for all of us, in any situation.  He has the answers.  He knows exactly what we need, we must simply find Him in the situation to put into effect this perfect plan He has for our lives.  


Verse:
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.
~Deuteronomy 4:29


But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
~Matthew 6:33


Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
~Isaiah 55:6


The same holds true in joyous situations.  When times are great, when it seems as though nothing can bring me down, I find Him.  After all, He supplied this joy!  He deserves praise in all I do; through trial or triumph, He is still God.  He is continually waiting on me to delve deeper.  He has proven His love, He has taken His stance in this relationship, and proved over and over again how rewarding and loving it can be.  Now it is up to me, and up to each of you, to find Him; it is in our hands to truly seek Him out in all we do, no matter where we are, no matter what we may be feeling.  He is God, He is waiting to be found by You.


I pray that each of us may take time to seek Him out in all we do.  Reach out to Him, embrace His presence, felt or unfelt, and rest in the fact that He has found you, and claimed you as His own.  I pray we find You, God, and continue to find You in all that we do.
