Joyfully Searching for Jesus

“Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts.” Psalm 119:2

Are you searching for Jesus today?

I'm not talking about listening to your favorite podcast, or watching your favorite pastor or teacher, or even reading your favorite devotional.  While those are good things, there is absolutely no substitution for you spending time alone with Jesus by yourself, in prayer and in daily reading the Holy Bible.  These things, practiced daily, change our lives.

In Psalm 22:26, we read, "The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy."

Do you know this to be true?

In travelling the hard and winding path of life with Jesus, I have come to discover that the things which are unseen are more tangible and much more real than anything we could ever see or experience in our humanness.

In John 5:39, Jesus admonishes, “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!"

Are you searching for Him now?

He is searching for you.

"If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’" Luke 15:4-6

Goodnight, Runners.
