My word for September 13th is SEARCH!


My word for September 13th is SEARCH

Have you ever lost something and you searched and searched only to realize it was right in front of you.  I have lost my cell phone before walked around looking and then realized I was talking on it.  Car keys are something else we have to search for.  I have always wanted a button I could push that would make my car keys put off a sound when I am searching for them.  We have also had to search for our dogs.  They will get out and run off.  We will search and search for them and they will be in the yard hiding under a bush.  Search and rescue, lost and found.

During our lifetime at one time or another you will feel lost.  You will be searching for answers; searching for what you need to do or what direction you need to go. When we are searching there is only one direction to turn and that is to the Lord.  The first step to be found is opening our hearts to Him.  When we do this we will receive his mercy and kindness.  He is constantly talking to us when we are searching.  He cares for us and wants us to be found.  He can show us the way.  Many times the Lord has given us the answer; we just refuse to see them. 

When you turn to God searching will not be a part of your daily walk anymore.  Simply ask for forgiveness and His help and He will help you stop the search.  You will be at peace knowing what you thought was lost is now found. 

Isaiah 41:13
New International Version (NIV)
13 
For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

Dear Lord thank You for helping us when we are searching.  We are usually searching for something that is right in front of us and very visible if we would just stop and look.  Assist us in never forgetting to come to You first when we are searching for answers.  Remind us that You are the one that holds our hand and walks with us when we are lost.
