Much of our activity is a veiled reaching for God. Our hunger for God can express itself in life’s excesses. Realizing this will make a difference in how we view people’s sins. Substitute idols cannot take the place of the true and living God. Our devotional lives are to see and acknowledge the source of our true hunger. It is to sharpen our search to seek in all the right places, not wasting our time in vain pursuits. He wants to make Himself known to those who seek after Him.
“That they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children’.” (Acts 17:27-28 NASB)
