Psalm 119:94 I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your precepts.
It is the scriptures that bring us closer to God when we spend time listening to Him through them.
It is Christ who came to save us from our sin debt, but in doing so He pointed us back to the scriptures at every opportunity to make sure we know how important they are for us.
Seek God through what He has given to us already instead of trying to seek Him through some sort of experience.
Make it real by taking in what God has said.
