"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him..."
We talk about seeking the face of God. Did you know that God seeks us, too? No matter what we are doing, He is looking on. He is looking for people who say, "This is my life. I'm going to dedicate to Him." Our lives may be very ordinary and unglamorous. They may be far from ideal in our eyes, but God is not inviting us to dedicate to Him and ideal. He is asking us to dedicate our actual ordinary lives to Him because He is able to accomplish astonishing things through Him.
He doesn't ask for perfection. He asks for commitment. He's looking for loyalty and dedication to doing His will in the world, loving our neighbors as ourselves. He's seeking servants and friends who will partner with Him over the long haul, even when it's difficult. He doesn't ask us to be strong―he'll provide the strength if we provide the commitment.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: God is searching us out, looking for hearts that are fully committed to Him.
