Has the question ever crossed your mind as to why some people seem to have such an unwavering belief in the existence of God while others negate Him? Perhaps we can go further and say that within the minds of those of us who profess faith in the Lord, there are times we doubt; times we waver in our faith.

What causes such fluctuation? Why don’t we always believe with the fervency we once knew? There is an admonition that adjures that we ‘never doubt in the darkness what the Lord has revealed clearly in the light,’ but we do. We doubt Him in the darkness—and we don’t make Him our priority in the light.

Because we don’t seek Him with our fully committed heart, we see Him through ‘foggy faith.’ Sometimes the fog that shrouds us is so thick that we can’t see Him at all. This is 180 degrees apart from what His Word admonishes that we do. In Deuteronomy 4:29 we are given the key to unlock the sense of His presence, to know the assurance of His love.

It gives us the roadmap to unswerving faith. It says, “If you will seek the Lord your God, you will find Him—if you search for Him with all your heart and soul and mind.” Our Heavenly Father wants us to be diligent in our pursuit of Him. He does not want to be an addendum to our lives. We will find Him when our whole life is about seeking Him.
