Psalm 105:4: Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Seek the Lord and his strength. Put yourselves under his protection. Regard him not as a puny God but look unto his omnipotence, and seek to know the power of his grace. We all need strength; let us look to the strong place, let us look to the Almighty Jehovah for it. Seek his face evermore. Seek, seek, seek, we have the word three times, and though the words differ in the Hebrew, the sense is the same. It must be a blessed thing to seek, or we should not be thus stirred up to do so. To seek his face is to desire his presence, his smile, his favor consciously enjoyed. First we seek him, then his strength, and then his face; from the personal reverence, we pass on to the imparted power, and then to the conscious favor. This seeking must never cease—the more we know, the more we must seek to know. 1
Living the Transformed Life
When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Psalm 27:8
- I will seek Him…to know the power of His resurrection in my weakness.
- I will seek Him…to know the power of His healing mercy in my brokenness.
- I will seek Him…to know the power of His abundant grace in my repentance.
Seeking Him means seeking no other.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for seeking me, a lost sinner in need of Your salvation. Dear Jesus, please teach to me to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
