Deuteronomy 4:29 From there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find him if you seek after him with all your heart and soul.

In this case, “From there” means from a place of rebellion and disobedience. God knows that when his people get all settled into the land he has given them, they will forget his ways and the things they have promised to do for him. We are the same—we get comfortable and happy and forget how we cried out to him in our distress and clung to him in our sorrow. No matter—seek him out again and you will find him.
