"Are you lost?"

I recently moved from one office to another. And you know what that meant—all of my “stuff” wound up in boxes. Some of it was pretty easy to find—like lots of boxes of books. Finding a specific book is a different matter, though. And finding those little things that you depend on, but don’t have enough of to fill an entire box, stuff like staples and paper clips and other office supplies, was really tough to find.

All of which means that when I needed something or just wanted to use something, no matter how well we labeled the boxes, I still had to plunder through some of them to find it. I searched and searched and sometimes I found what I was after and other times I didn’t. I just gave up in frustration and did without whatever it was I was after.

The next you feel lost in life—maybe like you’re packed up in a box and stuck in your life, with no obvious way for anybody to get to you—remember: God searches for you until you’re found. God doesn’t give up looking for you until you’re discovered. God wants you near by where you are useful. So as you make a life, not just a living today, know that God is looking for you.
