Today’s Scripture: that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, Acts 17:27 ESV
What is really important; our feelings or feeling our way towards God? Although we can not trust our feelings we can trust that if we feel towards God we will find Him.
Paul met with many different people. The Jewish leaders, philosophers and every day working people directing them all to feel their way towards God. His promise here is that God is actually closer to everyone than we understand.
Like the Jews, sometimes we can be more concerned with the law than God. When we experience the love of God we recognize it, don’t we? When we receive kindness and care from others, the law is unimportant because we know God is there.
God created us all and being in us all is closer than we think. We just need to feel our way towards Him above all things, then we will find Him.
Are you feeling your way towards God?
Today’s Scripture: Father God, thank You for creating all of us. LORD help us to feel for You and to share You and Your love with everyone. Help us to encourage with Your love all others. You created us to be: messengers of Your love. Help us to show Your message and not just tell of it. Amen

Great insights Tom . . . trusting feelings instead of feeling our way towards Him. . . I like to call it pressing into the Lord when I do and I find Him it is a perfect fit! ~ Blessings ~
Thank you Deborah Ann! I love that, pressing into Him…and yes we do find Him and His perfect fit. Amazing how we can press inwards and outwards at the same time and find Him on all sides. We will never know His boundaries yet know His closeness as we press on. Blessings and pressing!
Ohhh, I’m lovin’ this, Tom!! It speaks to my personal experience so well–sometimes the fog is so thick I can’t see Him, can’t hear Him–but at this stage in my walk, I KNOW He’s there. So I just keep my hands out straight, my feet moving forward–however hesitantly–and danged if I don’t always run right into Him!! Hallelujah! God bless you BIG–have a great day–love, sis Caddo
What a great imagery Sis, Whether we walk in the dark with hands feeling for Him or we peer into the darkness of our feelings we run right into Him. HALLELUJAH! BIG Blessings! Love
Tom
The feeling that goes beyond feeling! It is so important to get to this place in our walks.
Amen Joseph, may we continue to feel for Him all along our way! Blessings and feeling.
Amen!
