A simple principle stated throughout scripture: the desires of our heart determine the pathway in which we walk. Ignore it and pay the ultimate, eternal price. Follow it and reap a lifetime of security, immeasurable strength, and ultimate peace, independent of circumstances. It’s only when we give our whole heart to God, that He gives more of Himself to us. You’ll never find God if you don’t seek Him out. No one has ever stumbled upon God. He will not allow people to know Him if they have little desire to do so. As a matter of fact, He will make sure people never find Him if they chose to never seek Him out. In a world full of distractions, this truth is of the utmost importance. Don’t neglect it.
28 “When they cry for help, I will not answer.Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.29 For they hated knowledgeand chose not to fear the Lord.30 They rejected my adviceand paid no attention when I corrected them.31 Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way,choking on their own schemes.32 For simpletons turn away from me–to death.Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.33 But all who listen to me will live in peace,untroubled by fear of harm.”
Proverbs 1:28-33
