How to Find God in His Word: Seeking His Presence Through Scripture
Sometimes reading the Bible can feel overwhelming—like, where do I even start? But here’s the good news: God is not hiding from you. He wants to be found, and He has given us His Word as a way to know Him. The more we lean in, the more He reveals Himself.
At Heart Dive, we teach that reading Scripture isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about transformation. Every time you open your Bible, you have the opportunity to hear God’s heartbeat and align yours with His.
Why the Bible is the Best Place to Seek God
- It’s His direct revelation. The Bible isn’t about God—it is God speaking (John 1:1).
- Every page points to Jesus. Whether you’re in Genesis or Revelation, Scripture reveals the heart of Christ (Luke 24:27).
- It never changes. The world shifts, opinions change, but God’s Word remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
How to Encounter God in His Word
If you want to find God in Scripture, here are some simple steps:
- Pray Before You Read – Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal truth.
- Read with Expectation – Come to Scripture hungry to hear from God.
- Look for God’s Character – What does this passage reveal about His nature?
- Meditate on Key Verses – Don’t just read—sit with the Word and let it sink in.
Overcoming Common Struggles
- Feeling Distracted? Set a quiet time and space to read.
- Not Understanding? Use study Bibles or commentaries for deeper insight.
- Lacking Motivation? Find an accountability partner or join a Bible study group.
Final Encouragement: God is Always Speaking
If you seek Him, you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). He is closer than you think. Whether you’re new to Scripture or have been reading for years, the Word of God is an open invitation to know Him more. Take the next step, open your Bible, and dive in—He’s waiting for you.
