Amongst The Noise….

By searching for God, by seeking Him out amongst the noise in this world, we eventually find Him. The more we seek Him, the more He reveals Himself to us. The more we know about Him, the more we know Him. We know that He wants our sincerity. He wants our loyalty. He wants our honesty. He wants out trust. He wants our repentance. He wants us to know Him; to know His heart. He wants us to know He is the only One that can rescue us from ourselves, to rescue us for His glory. It’s only when we see this, that we overcome our sin. God wants us to seek Him out; to seek Him with all of our hearts. For when we do, we are granted peace because where our treasure is, there are hearts are also.

“O Israel, My faithless people,come home to Me again,for I am merciful.I will not be angry with you forever.13 Only acknowledge your guilt.Admit that you rebelled against the Lord your Godand committed adultery against Himby worshiping idols under every green tree.Confess that you refused to listen to My voice.I, the Lord, have spoken! 14 “Return home, you wayward children,”says the Lord,“for I am your master.I will bring you back to the land of Israel–one from this town and two from that family–from wherever you are scattered.15 And I will give you shepherds after My own heart,who will guide you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 3:12c-15

19 “I thought to Myself,‘I would love to treat you as My own children!’I wanted nothing more than to give you this beautiful land–the finest possession in the world.I looked forward to your calling Me ‘Father,’and I wanted you never to turn from Me. Jeremiah 3:19

“My wayward children,” says the Lord,“come back to Me, and I will heal your wayward hearts.” Jeremiah 3:22a

23 Our worship of idols on the hills and our religious orgies on the mountains are a delusion. Only in the Lord our God will Israel ever find salvation. Jeremiah 3:23
