Glory in his holy name; rejoice, O hearts
that seek the Lord!
that seek the Lord!
Psalm 105:3
Look to the Lord in His strength;
seek to serve Him constantly.
seek to serve Him constantly.
Psalm 105:4
I sought the Lord, and He answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:5
Simon and those who were with him pursued him, and they found him and said to him, "Everyone is searching for you." (Mark 1:36-37)Who can ascend the mountain of the Lord? Or who may stand in his holy place? He whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean, who desires not what is vain. Such is the race that seeks for him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob. (Psalm 24:3-4, 6)
Seek the Lord is a phrase that means to pursue a personal relationship with God through prayer, worship, obedience, and faith. It is a biblical command and a spiritual practice that leads to joy, peace, and salvation. Here are some of the reasons and ways to seek the Lord:
To know and love God: Seeking the Lord is the way to know Him personally and intimately, and to grow in our love for Him. God reveals Himself to those who seek Him with all their heart, and He delights in our desire for Him. [Jeremiah 29:13], [Psalm 37:4]
To receive His grace and mercy: Seeking the Lord is the way to receive His forgiveness, healing, and restoration. God is gracious and merciful to those who seek Him sincerely and humbly, and He promises to pardon and heal our sins and wounds. [Isaiah 55:6-7], [2 Chronicles 7:14]
To obey His will and commands: Seeking the Lord is the way to obey His will and commands for our lives. God guides and instructs those who seek Him diligently and faithfully, and He empowers us to do His good and pleasing will. [Psalm 119:10], [Proverbs 3:5-6]
To enjoy His presence and blessings: Seeking the Lord is the way to enjoy His presence and blessings in our lives. God fills and satisfies those who seek Him earnestly and continually, and He bestows on us His joy, peace, and favor. [Psalm 16:11], [Matthew 6:33]
Seeking the Lord is not a one-time event, but a lifelong journey. It requires our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. It involves our daily choices, actions, and attitudes. It is not a burden, but a privilege and a pleasure. It is the greatest adventure and the highest reward. Seek the Lord today and always, and you will find him. [Deuteronomy 4:29], [Hebrews 11:6]
