Bro, I prayed after leg day last night and felt like I was texting a number that never picks up. Will God even be found?
Tyler, I'm glad you asked. Jeremiah 29:12-13 has a line about looking for God. Listen.
Scripture: You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
Okay, Jake, but who's he even talking to? Sounds like a promise for guys who already have it together.
Nope, bro. God spoke it to people in captivity, with false prophets around. Jeremiah is described as a servant of God with little good news for his audience, but here God promises hope and a future.
Whoa. Okay, but all my heart? That's a max lift. What if I'm only half in?
Fair. And God says, "I will be found by you."
So the promise is that God can be found when you search. Showing up counts, like the gym?
Hey, you, today's a good day to tell God, "God, I want to know you," or talk with a Christian friend. What do you picture happening if you really started looking? Follow for more.
