Is God hiding? Here's how to know.

I was at church the other day and noticed some kids playing hide and seek in the sanctuary. It was everything you would expect from the classic game. The seeker kept her eyes open when she counted. The hiders always hid together in plain sight and couldn’t help giggling to give their secret position away. They wanted to be found by the seekers.

God says in Jeremiah 29:13 that he wants to be found…

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Did you catch that? God promises that you WILL find him when you look for him with your whole heart. 

Is God hiding? Here’s how to know:

Seek him with your heart.

  • Your heart influences everything in your life. If you want to get off on the right foot this is the place you must start. If your heart doesn’t belong to God nothing in your life will.

Seek him with your head.

  • What you think about will shape your entire life. When you think negatively you will be plagued by sadness, depression and anxiety. These are not God’s desires for your life. If that has been you it’s time for a mind makeover. Surrender your mind to God.

Seek him with your hands.

  • What you do matters. Your actions show that you’re either seeking God or hiding from him. You’re either sinning with your hands or serving God with your hands. Which is it for you?

Is God hiding? Here’s how to know.

God’s not hiding. He never has been and he never will be. He’s actually in plain sight. You just have to look.
