SEEKING GOD AT OUR LOWEST POINT

“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. When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath. Deuteronomy 4:29-31

“ ‘For I know the plans I have for you’, declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ ” Jeremiah 29:11

It becomes very difficult when we pray to God every day and things just don’t seem to change. There are times in our lives that things seem to reach a point of no return. We have prayed and prayed and prayed some more, but still things never change. Our lowest points in our lives are the most fertile times to pray to God. It is at these times that we are the most vulnerable and are able to be swayed by the world around us. Every opportunity that can present itself, does present itself. Some good and some bad. You and I may be afraid or sad about our lowest and dirtiest places, but our God is not. If we seek the Lord with all of heart we will find Him. He is always there for us and will never leave us in distress. We may have to go through some things that we believe to be unfair or disappointing, but God has his reasons. It is in these times we may be disciplined for things we have done, which develops trust and better understanding. We learn how to use his word and how to act upon his promises. It is through these lowest times in our lives that we become stronger, more trusting and become a stronger testimony for our Lord. We may be in a situation where he is using us to win others. These are the times we must trust his ways, his thoughts and his actions. He sees the whole picture while we see only a small portion. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
