“[SEEK] the LORD and his strength, [SEEK HIS FACE CONTINUALLY]” (1 Chronicles 16:11).

 

Let us remind ourselves of these words spoken by King David to his son King Solomon:

“And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: [IF THOU SEEK HIM, HE WILL BE FOUND OF THEE; BUT IF THOU FORSAKE HIM, HE WILL CAST THEE OFF FOR EVER]” (1 Chronicles 28:9).

“[SEEK] ye the LORD [WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND, CALL YE UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR]” (Isaiah 55:6).

“[I LOVE THEM THAT LOVE ME]; and those that seek me early shall find me” (Proverbs 8:17).

“[FOR WHOSO FINDETH ME FINDETH LIFE, AND] shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: [ALL THEY THAT HATE ME LOVE DEATH]” (Proverbs 8:35-36).

“[WOE UNTO HIM THAT STRIVETH WITH HIS MAKER]” (Isaiah 45:9).

“[FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD, AND STEDFAST FOR EVER, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED, AND HIS DOMINION SHALL BE EVEN UNTO THE END]” (Daniel 6:26).

“The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all” (Psalm 103:19).

“[FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD MEN HAVE NOT HEARD, NOR PERCEIVED BY THE EAR, NEITHER HATH THE EYE SEEN], O God, beside thee, what [HE HATH PREPARED FOR HIM THAT WAITETH FOR HIM]” (Isaiah 64:4).

“It is good that a man should [BOTH HOPE AND QUIETLY WAIT] for the [SALVATION] of the LORD” (Lamentation 3:26).

“[OUR SOUL WAITETH] for the LORD: he is our help and our shield” (Psalm 33:20).

“The LORD liveth; and [BLESSED BE MY ROCK]; and exalted be the God of the [ROCK OF MY SALVATION]” (a Samuel 22:47).

“Blessed be the LORD, [WHO DAILY LOADETH US WITH BENEFITS], even the [GOD OF OUR SALVATION]. Selah” (Psalm 68:19).

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from [EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING]: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 106:48).
