DDD: Seek to Understand: From Spiritual Blindness to True Hunger for God

A Devotion for your drive into work: 

Do life’s disappointments push people toward self-reliance—or prompt a radical shift to seeking God, His kingdom, and His righteousness first?

Using Romans 3:11, Psalm 53, and Matthew 6, Pastor Brian Noble emphasizes human inability to understand spiritual truth without God’s initiative. Paul draws heavily on Old Testament imagery: “There is none who understands, none who seeks for God,” echoing the reality that “the fool says in his heart, there is no God.” Before Christ, people are “corrupt” and focused on earthly anxieties. The message calls believers to move from worry and self-help to radical dependence on Christ—seeking first His kingdom and righteousness. Jeremiah 29:11–13 illustrates that even under discipline or disappointment, God invites prayer, promises to restore, and ensures that those who seek Him wholeheartedly are never abandoned. The devotional closes with prayer for understanding, wisdom, and the ambition to run after God and His ways in every sphere, from personal life to the public square.
