Deuteronomy 4:29 "Yet there too you shall seek the Lord, your God; and you shall indeed find Him when you search after Him with your whole heart and your whole soul."
We all have ambitions and desires. And while these are not necessarily wrong, we should analyze our priorities: Where do I invest my time and energy? What or who occupies my thoughts? As important as our earthly pursuits, responsibilities, and relationships may be, they cannot compare to the value of a life spent seeking the Lord.
Seeking the Lord is not a quick and occasional encounter, but a wholehearted effort to know Him more intimately and follow Him more closely. Those who unreservedly pursue this kind of fellowship with God are determined to spend time with Him; they also want to forsake anything that could hinder growth in their relationship with the Lord.
The Christian life is meant to be a pursuit of God. Those who seek Him soon discover that knowing Him intimately is the greatest reward of all.
