Lenten Devotion Day 24
FIND
From there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find him if you search after him
with all your heart and soul. In your distress, when all these things have happened to you
in time to come, you will return to the Lord your God and heed him.
Because the Lord your God is a merciful God, he will neither abandon you nor destroy you;
he will not forget the covenant with your ancestors that he swore to them.
Deuteronomy 4:29-31
If you have ever owned a dog that was bred for hunting you know that they are always seeking to find. As I walk my little hunter each morning she goes forward, nose to the ground and stopping every three feet or so to dig or uncover some scent that only she can detect. On our walks she usually finds some treasure...a lost toy, a new discovery, an animal she has never encountered (she's only five months old she hasn't encountered much.) My point is, she is constantly seeking to find....something.
Our Lenten reflections are also supposed to be about seeking and finding...the kind of seeking and finding mentioned in Deuteronomy. The kind that promises if we seek God with all our heart and soul you will find him.
This Lenten season you must ask "How hard am I looking to
FIND
God?"
