Deut. 4:29 - "'But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.'"
Moses is speaking to the Israelites before they enter the promised land. He is warning them to be careful to not make any type of images in effort to depict God and to not look to the heavens and begin to worship the stars or things in the sky either. God will scatter them if they do that and they will become slaves to people groups that worship idol gods. He told them however that it is while they are in the midst of heathen lands, in the midst of those who do not fear God, in the midst of those who worship gods made by man, they will find the Lord their God, when they seek Him with all their heart and soul. This verse is an encouragement to me as I am currently living in a land where many of the people do not fear God. It is easy to get discouraged when you are surrounded by corruption, faithlessness, a total disregard for God and an ignorance to the need for Him. But God promises us in His word, that from this place, I can cry out to Him, and I will find Him when I seek for Him with all my heart. Myself and my team do see where He is working in this land when we step back and look for signs of His presence. You will too, no matter where you are, find Him when you look for Him.
