You will seek Me and find Me, when you will search for Me with all your heart.  Jeremiah 29:13, TLV

Seeking Wholeheartedly.       Shabbat Shalom.   Jeremiah has some of the most beautiful understanding of the Creator of the Universe. The prophet also shows our Creator’s heart — the heart of the Father. He wants more than anything for the world to become His redeemed children. The children who will be with Him for eternity. Today is one of those verses. Look at the previous verse.

“Then you will call on Me, and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:12, TLV

Can you hear a Father’s plea?

But making our way to this Creator of the Universe — well, let’s face it — can be intimidating. The Jewish people’s history shows that a remnant of souls were able to seek and know His heart. We are incredibly blessed that we live in a time where we can see more of the whole picture. The map to finding our Father. Through His Son.

“Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7, TLV

When we study the life of our Messiah, the Savior of the world, He points us to His Dad. Yeshua [Jesus] came to show us the way to be the Father’s redeemed children. Redeemed by Yeshua’s precious blood. He demonstrated how to live the life of a redeemed child of God.

A few years ago, hubby and I were talking on the long drive home from Missouri. We discussed that if the Creator of the Universe provided an owner’s manual to our bodies, spirit, emotions, redemption, parenting, finances, stewarding the environment, etc., then wouldn’t we want to seek that information? Seems logical. What about having a relationship with Him? He has. I know you know the Manuel’s Name.

All this takes time and diligence. The truth is the first step and is simple. Living it takes effort. But, oh, how it is worth it.

Think More About It

How do you seek the LORD wholeheartedly? When you ponder a year ago, has the seeking changed? In what ways? Always love your comments, insights, and testimonies.

Until tomorrow, may we seek the LORD wholeheartedly.

Praying for Israel

He will receive a blessing from ADONAI [the LORD],
righteousness from God his salvation.
Such is the generation seeking Him,
seeking Your face, even Jacob! Selah
Lift up your heads, O gates,
and be lifted up, you everlasting doors:
that the King of glory may come in. Psalm 24:5-7, TLV

If you’ve been implementing these prayer prompts for Israel and the hostages’ return, are you struggling with a yearning? For the King of glory to return? I have. That’s why I need passages like this. To make a sacrifice of praise. Join me? Shabbat Shalom and God bless.
