MORNING MANNA 11-18-25
SEEK THE LORD
“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:12-13
This word from the Lord given through the prophet Jeremiah went out to the Lord’s people in captivity in Babylon. Why did God allow this trouble and bondage in the lives of His very own people. It wasn’t for the reason of wanting to harm them. He had a good reason for the difficulties he allowed in their lives, and it’s for the same reason He allows them today.
God wants us to seek Him in a greater way. He’s leading us to a new level of closeness with Him when trouble comes. He uses the trouble to guide us to seek His presence. The Lord knows how to show us that He is all we need. If He must do this by allowing some problems, He will.
He’s not angry with us. He wants the best for us. God still wants to implement His plan into our lives even when we’re turned from Him doing things according to our own plan.
May we see in our tough circumstances that the Lord is using these things to draw us closer to Him.- Kenneth Preston
