I Am Everything You Are Looking For

“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. 

Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

We spend our lives searching after so many things. Spending money where we think it will buy us happiness, spinning our time away trying to feel like we are worth something. ​“Why do you do it?” God gently says to his people. ​“Here I am. I am everything you are looking for, and more. Come find me.” It is somewhat incredible that the mysterious God who created everything from nothing reveals himself. He can actually be found. Today, think of how you can look for him. Look for him in the ordinary moments and places of your day. Walk around in the wonder that God can be found.
