Deuteronomy 4:29 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:29

But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God
By prayer and supplication, acknowledging and confessing sin, and desiring that God would be gracious and forgive it, and bring them out of their miserable condition; even if out of those depths of affliction and distress, and though scattered about in the world, and in the uttermost parts of it:

thou shalt find him;
to be a God hearing and answering prayer, gracious and merciful, ready to help and deliver:

if they seek him with all their heart and with all their soul;
sincerely and affectionately.

Deuteronomy 4:29 In-Context

27 The Lord will scatter you among the other nations. Only a few of you will be left alive, and those few will be in other nations where the Lord will send you.

28 There you will worship gods made by people, gods made of wood and stone, that cannot see, hear, eat, or smell.

29 But even there you can look for the Lord your God, and you will find him if you look for him with your whole being.

30 It will be hard when all these things happen to you. But after that you will come back to the Lord your God and obey him,

31 because the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you. He will not forget the Agreement with your ancestors, which he swore to them.
