This morning, I was meditating on Psalm 14. It is a powerful Psalm that speaks of the evidence for God. Let me encourage you to read the entire Psalm (It is only 7 verses long, so it will be a quick read).
The verse that grabbed my attention was verse 2 which states, "The Lord looks down from Heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God." As I pondered that powerful verse, I realized how little I really understand God. He is so much bigger than my thoughts and when I try to condense Him into small snippets of truth, I miss His majesty. God is so vast and He constantly astounds me and surprises me. However, the passage seemed to be a call from God for us to, not so much figure Him out as simply to trust Him in all things. We need to understand that any situation is not out of His control and grasp. To trust His heart when we cannot see His hand.
The other aspect of this passage which struck me was the fact that God is looking to see who will seek Him. He doesn't put any qualifier on this. He is pleased by those who will seek Him. He doesn't ask us to have perfect Faith, He asks us to look for Him. If you lost your paycheck in your house this week, what would you do? We would tear up the house trying to find the paycheck because our rent/mortgage, groceries and life are connected to it. God wants us to have that same enthusiasm for seeking Him. He wants us to wake up excited about another morning we can spend in His Word and in prayer with Him before starting our day. He wants us to look for His touch throughout the day, no matter how hectic or mundane. I know I don't do this very well on most days. I get caught up in my own stuff. So today, I have made a commitment to try and see God at work in every situation which I encounter today: Whether at the store, at work, playing hoops or standing in line. I want to try to let God know that I value Him so much that I am looking for Him in every aspect of my life. Not a bad way to spend a day!
