All

"From there you will search again for the LORD your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him."  Deuteronomy 4:29

Have you ever done something with half of your heart, attention, effort, and thought? How did it turn out? Probably not as good as it would’ve if you had put your “all” into it.

Maybe we fill our plates to full. We believe that if we finish it that is good enough, but is it really good enough?

What about your relationship with Jesus? Do you give Him half of your attention, heart, thoughts, and effort? When you go to Church do you sit and think about a million other things, rather than give God all of your attention? When you sing are you singing with “all” your heart or out of habit? It is easy to move our mouths and our thoughts be somewhere else.

What about when we spend time in the Word? Do we do it with other things going on around us that steal our attention? Like our phones, TV, our kids, our job, etc. Or do we give God “all” of our attention and go to a quiet place where there are no distractions; thus giving Him “all” of our attention, heart, thoughts, and effort?

Notice in our passage God says, “If you search for Me with ALL your heart and soul you will find Me.”

Have you been in search for more of Jesus? If so check and see if your “all” has been into it.

Jesus You gave us all of you; forgive us for only giving you bits and pieces. It’s time we get serious in our search for You, and in doing so our all must be put into it. Amen
