We yearn for God to be in our lives. As we learn what this means, we grow in our holiness and in our understanding. The Old Testament book of Deuteronomy tells the story of God's people seeking after him. As we study their journey (seeing how theysucceed and how they fail), we will learn to follow God more closely.
