“I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.” Ps. 34:4
The Lord has promised, on many occasions, that anyone who seeks the Lord will find Him, if they search for Him with all their heart. But too often we forget that we seek Him because He first sought us. The good Shepherd of the sheep is the One Who searched us out first and convicted our heart of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement.
It was God Who searched for us, found us, and convicted us of our need of a Savior, and it is the Spirit of God Who breathed the breath of life into our inner being by faith, when He found his sheep that was lost and we trusted Him as our God and Redeemer.
Those of us who have been saved by grace through faith in Christ, are able to testify that we sought the Lord for the forgiveness of sin and He graciously delivered us out of the hands of the enemy – triumphing over sin and death and redeeming our life from the pit.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, You are worthy to be praised and I will bless You at all times and in all places. I will make my boast in the Lord, for I sought after You and You heard my cry and answered me. You have redeemed my life from the clutches of the evil one and delivered me from all my fears. You and You alone are worthy of my praise and thanksgiving forever and ever, AMEN.
