searching to see

Luke 11:9 Heb 11:6 2Chron 7:14 Ps 9:10 Prv 7:15
One of the most asked questions in my house (besides "what's for dinner") is this: "Have you seen my ____?". Fill in the blank with any of the following: keys, backpack, other shoe. Currently I am faced with my own dilemma, I've lost the case for my phone. Sure, I've looked for it, but not really hard. Sometimes it takes extra effort to find whatever it is we're looking for. We must move things around, take extra time, put ourselves into awkward positions, or even ask for help from someone else and then, we are able to find what we're looking for.
Often, we overlook the Lord in our lives because we don't look hard enough. We don't want to move our sins or habits out of our lives; we don't want to take time out of our busy schedule long enough to appreciate what He has done for us; we refuse to step out of our comfort zone or are too prideful to humble ourselves in order to find Him.
Think about the last time you diligently searched for the remote or your keys..... How long did you look for it? If you take that five or ten minutes (at least) everyday and use it to see the Lord and what He's doing in your life (through reading the Bible or prayer) He will reveal Himself to you.
