Finding Christ... feeling lost...
"Its been a long night and I am weary. Its been a long time and I am hungry." Misty Edwards from her song I am yours.
This part of the song is in the beginning of the song and I cant help but draw into those two sentences... I have a friend who sent me a message this morning on facebook and I cant help but think of all the people who are feeling the way she does at this time or the weary, hungry to know him more, hungry to "find" him again. My friend whom I haven't spoken to in over 10 years except for common likes or little comments on facebook because she lives far from me sent me this message "It seems I have lost any faith I have ever had I'm not sure how to get it back anymore" I had to pause before I answered because I wanted to say the right things I wanted encourage her, she was reaching out and she yearned for this relationship with Christ and desired to have it back. So I gave her some good devotional apps, that I use and some worship links but my job is now to pray. But it lead me to seek what the bible says when we are hungry for more of him and to know him. The bible says in John 6:35 Jesus replied "I AM the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again." Now I am by no means a master at reading the bible, in fact I am still learning my style of how I study and learn but what this says is if we call to him, we seek him he will be there, he is there, he is always there, we will never go without him. The Bible then goes to say in John 4:14 "But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again.". When we long for Him he is there, we cry out to him he is there. Are we willing to listen? So then what does the bible say about being weary, in Matthew 11:25 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
When it feels like our world is falling apart, times get tough, we stray away from Christ we grow in both findings of being weary and hungry Christ tells us COME TO ME, I HAVE WHAT YOU NEED, YOU WILL FIND REST IN ME, I WILL GIVE YOU PEACE, I WILL OVERFLOW YOUR SOUL WITH JOY, I GOT YOUR BACK!!! Deuteronomy 4:29 But 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.
I am a big person into worship and so I will attach these two songs but the worship song that this message leads me to is "The more I seek You" Kari Jobe. Find rest in the Lord.
