“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” — Jeremiah 29:13

In this busy world, it’s easy to get distracted and settle for half-hearted faith. Yet, God’s promise in Jeremiah 29:13 reminds us of the incredible blessing waiting for those who earnestly seek Him. When we pursue God with all our heart—fully committed, genuinely longing—He promises that we will find Him.
This verse encourages us to go beyond surface-level faith and to dive deep in our relationship with God. Whether through prayer, Scripture, or worship, seeking God wholeheartedly opens the door to His presence, guidance, and peace.
As we journey together as a church family, let’s challenge ourselves to pursue God not just occasionally, but with all our heart. When we do, we’ll discover a life transformed by His love and faithfulness.
The Sabbath offers us a precious gift—the blessing of time to come apart from the busyness of life and rest in God’s presence. It’s a sacred pause where we can refresh our souls, renew our spirits, and focus on seeking God wholeheartedly without distraction.

Reflection Questions for the Sabbath:

• How am I currently seeking God in my daily life?
• What distractions might be keeping me from seeking Him wholeheartedly?
• How can I embrace the Sabbath as a special time to rest and deepen my relationship with God?

Sabbath Challenge:
This Sabbath, take intentional time to rest—not just physically, but spiritually. Quiet your heart through prayer, Scripture, or simply being still before God. Seek Him with your whole heart and welcome the peace and renewal only He can provide.

Don't forget! Guess who is coming to Lunch is tomorrow! It'll be a fun way to make new friends or connect with old ones!
