Please read Jeremiah 29 and Daniel 9.
Meditate on verse 13.
You will seek Me and find me when you search for Me with all your
heart.
The word seek in
Jeremiah 29:13 means to search out by prayer and worship. The same word is used in Daniel 9:
… I, Daniel, observed…the Word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet..
So I gave my attention to the LORD God
to seek Him by prayer and supplications …
—Daniel 9:2-3
Jeremiah sent a letter to those exiled to Babylon; Daniel
was one of them. Daniel 9 records him reading that letter, the same letter you
read in Jeremiah 29. Daniel took God’s Words to heart to seek Him through
prayer. While praying, Gabriel appeared and said, “O Daniel, I have now come
forth to give you insight with understanding” (Daniel 9:22b).
Notice the sequence of events. As Daniel observed God’s
Word, he talked to the LORD. During that intense prayer time, God sent Gabriel
to give Daniel insight with understanding into incredible revelations from Him.
e LORD let Daniel nd Him when Daniel searched for Him.
As you read God’s Word, let it draw you into an intimate
prayer time. e LORD will give you great depth of understanding about Himself.
Pray Jeremiah 29:11-13 over yourself and those for whom you
stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, _______ and I trust You for the plans You have for us,
plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give us a future and a hope.
We call upon You and come and pray to You.
Please listen to us, LORD.
We seek You; let us find You as we search for You with all our hearts.
In Your name, Jesus~”
