So we went into fasting with the premise we would be seeking God. When we wanted to reach for food, we stopped and sought Him in prayer. For mealtimes we read scriptures, discussed what we had read and prayed. We took communion. In all those activities we had the opportunity to seek and find. We know His desire for us to pursue Him is not just during fasting.
We can find God in most things I expect. We can seek and find Him in nature.......in it's beauty, colors, animals, insects, birds, flowers, smells. We can also seek and find Him throughout our days, our lives with those we love and care about. His Presence in the midst. Are we aware? I am surprised at how often something pops up on Facebook that speaks clearly to me and I ponder how often I "miss" His love notes because distractions get in the way.
On the opposite side of that we need to question ourselves.....do we seek and find God with what we say.......what we do..........what we watch on TV........what we read........Some stuff, not. We pursue Him in worship! How about life's challenges? In the midst of a big life storm I often seek Him....but will I focus on Him in all our circumstances? Sometimes it has to be intentional with how loud the storm is, but He is there. Oh, yes, He is there..........here.....His calming presence in the midst.
