“Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually” (Psalm 105:4).
The many worries of man, not his many labors, drive away the presence of God. Quiet your feverish vanities and restless thoughts. In silence, seek the face of your Father, and the light of His countenance will shine upon you. He will create a secret place in your heart where you will find Him, and everything around you will reflect His glory.
This truth calls us to obey the great Law of God. His wonderful commandments teach us to quiet our hearts and seek His presence. To obey is to surrender our works to Him, aligning ourselves with His purpose. Obedience leads us to an intimate encounter with the Creator, even in the midst of daily tasks.
Beloved, live in obedience to find God in your heart. The Father guides the obedient to His Son, Jesus, for salvation. Seek Him, as Jesus did, and live in the peace of His presence. Adapted from Edward B. Pusey. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Father, I praise You for Your presence that welcomes me. Teach me to quiet my heart.
Lord, guide me to follow Your wonderful commandments. May I find You in every moment.
O beloved God, I thank You for calling me into Your presence. Your Son is my Prince and Savior. Your great Law is the refuge that guards my soul. Your commandments are beacons that illuminate my path. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
