As we continue our week on knowing God's heart, today we'll explore the idea of continually seeking God in our day-to-day lives, rather than living off of one-time experiences.

God is always available to us, and as his children, we have his spirit speaking to us at all times, in all places.

May we walk away today more inclined to listen and more open to finding God in unexpected ways.

Welcome to the First 15 Podcast.

Thank you. Welcome to the First 15 podcast. Our scripture for today comes from First Chronicle 16, verse 11.

Scripture says,

Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his presence continually.

Seeking God isn't meant to be a one-time event. We're not meant to run off the fuel

of an occasional encounter with our father's love.

Rather, seeking and finding God's heart is to be at the foundation of all we do.

It's to be intertwined in our thoughts, actions, and emotions.

He longs to reveal himself to us, whether we're at home, working, watching movies, in a church service, or out with friends.

Life with God is meant to be about continual revelation of his heart.

In Jeremiah 29, verse 13 through 14, God says, you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your

heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord. God longs to be found by us. He longs for us to

seek out a revelation of his invisible nature, unconditional love, and abounding grace.

He longs for us to taste and see that he is good.

When you seek out God, you won't be met with nothingness.

When you seek to know the will, attributes, feelings, and reality of your Heavenly Father,

you will find what you seek. His presence is his promise.

I go through too much of my day apart from a revelation of God's heart. I suffer through

insecurities, disappointments, fear, doubt, and worry as if I am on my own.
