And Find His Glory There

 

Seek the LORD

     and His strength.

Seek His Presence

     continually.

         Psalm 105. 4

What are we seeking

   in this situation before us?

A quick answer, success,

     or even relief?

But what if it is to remember 

    that God is with us?

Faith comes from what we practice

    on a daily basis, 

our habits we pursue,

what exactly we are seeking,

and how we respond

   to God in our circumstances.

Why is it so hard to admit

       we need the Lord?

By seeking Him,

grasping His strength,

     might and power,

God unfolds something new.

We have the courage

         to go with Him in this.

And we find His glory there.

O LORD,

May we seek You in this day

  and through all 

   the sacred encounters that 

   You have divinely appointed.

Help us to not be distracted

   by our own ideas

   or weaknesses,

but to be faithful to You.

            Even in this.

Empower us to listen to You,

to watch for You,

to pay attention,

   and to respond to You.
