Today's Verse - 1 Chronicles 16:11 (KJV)

Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

—1 Chronicles 16:11 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...


After restoring the presence of God to his people through the Ark of the Covenant, David and Asaph gave them these verses as a song to perpetually remind them of the importance of seeking God because ... our strength is found in him ... our grace is from his loving presence ... and our hope is in seeing him face to face and knowing him even as we are known by him. We must look to the Lord and not seek our own way or follow our own path.

My Prayer...


O Lord, I know you created me uniquely as you fashioned me in my mother's womb. Yet I know I can never have the freedom or creativity in my life that you long for me to discover, unless I first seek you and your strength. Please bless me with the assurance of your nearness as I seek you with all of my heart and use my abilities in creative ways to bring you glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Amen.

Seeking the Lord in the middle of the night helped me to grow in grace and in my spirit. I feel God is right there when we call on His name. My strenght cometh from Him.
