Seek the LORD and His strength: seek His face evermore.  

Psalm 105:4

When we seek the LORD we are in fact seeking His divine presence.  “Presence” is a common translation for the Hebrew word “face.”

So, when we’re seeking His “face” it is the Hebraic way of access to God.  When we’re before His Face…it is to be in His presence.

The Word of God…or “His Voice” which is to say the Bible, calls us to repeatedly to “seek the LORD” which is to say, His presence.  Yet, although we have good intentions to always seek Him, sometimes, many of us become negligent, or lacking in our daily lives by not putting Him first…and trying to “find Him.”

God’s light is glorious, and the bright light is an indication of His personal and beautiful flawless character.  The light is our shield and our voice in all things we undertake, the light is our guide in the darkness so that we shall not stumble.

When we focus our mind and attention and our heart’s affection toward and on God, we continue a journey in intimacy in our relationship with Him.

“Now set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God”  (1 Chronicles 22:19)

When we pursue Him with all of our hearts and set our heart and mind of things above, we are walking in the spirit and not the flesh.  We are instructed to look for Him and not of things in this world, for He is not of the world, but in fact defeated the world…

“If then you have bee raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. (Colossians 3:1-2)

When we do these things, more will be added unto us, copiously, and generously by His hand from above.

God is in heaven, which tells of the glory of God…we seek Him through that, which He reveals in His Word.  He tells us of Himself, and gives us examples lending witness to our heart as He quickens us in the Word.

We become ALIVE!

For the Word is Life and Light!

Things of this world are set out to “blind us” and move us in a direction that is “away for the LORD” so, it is our conscious acts, to know what they are and not be fooled.  We are to move away from the world, and circumvent the obstacles in which we encounter at all times.

That is what “Seeking God” is all about.

“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.”  (Isaiah 55:6)

Seeking does not constitute just “one or two things” but a constant calling and pleading and worshiping of our LORD to guide us, to keep our eyes open, to be alert and gain wisdom to avoid the counteractions of the enemy.   And only His Word and His Sovereign Presence can do that for us…

When we seek Him in humility, and surrender to His Powerful and loving arms, by immersing ourselves in His Word, which is to say our weapons of defense, we become victorious through Christ. But only HE can do this for us, no one else.

“Therefore, humility is essential to seeking the LORD.” Psalm 10:4) 

“If you seek Him, He will be found by You.”                 (1 Chronicles 28:9)

We are only strong through Him. We will only be successful through Him.  We shall know Perfect peace, through Him.

Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!

And the rewards will be overflowing.

When we seek His face, it will be peace.

It’s akin to a blanket of dew settling upon a delicate rose petal;

Sweet, gentle, and refreshing.

O’ Praise His glorious name!

AMEN!
