Seek the LORD and His strength, seek His face continually. Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth.1 Chronicles 16-11-12 KJV Scripture Insight
Scripture Insight By The Fresh Bread Ministry
Beloved, these verses of scripture in 1 Chronicles Chapter 16 allude to the fact that seeking the LORD is a matter of the disposition of our heart. When we place the LORD GOD first in all of our decisions in life, His wonders will appear and marvelous things will start to take place. I encourage the Church (People in Christ Jesus) to put ever effort forth to seek the face of GOD before choosing to make any decisions large or small, and watch the LORD move on behalf of His obedient Children.
King Saul was a person who started out seeking the face of GOD and His directions but lost the his focus and began to seek the advice of mediums rather than the Lord. As a result of the decision made by King Saul he lost the kingdom and eventually his life. Anytime we the Church fail to make GOD the number one source of information as it pertains to the direction for our lives, we will surely fail and in all cases we are spiritually dead.
Moses sought the face of the LORD on the Mount Sinai forty days and forty nights and the residual effect of him being in the presence of the LORD showed on the face of Moses. “When Moses came down Mount Sinai carrying the two stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, he wasn’t aware that his face had become radiant because he had spoken to the LORD.” Exodus 34:29 NLT
We will only receive the Glory of the LORD when we seek His face continually, GOD will make His presence known in us the obedient Children of the LORD; just as he did with King David, and his son Solomon who later became King. They chose to seek the face and the direction of the LORD and they saw marvelous works and wonders from GOD. However, when they refused to abide in GOD’S will for their life, the judgment of GOD was their result. The word of the LORD is true, if we keep our minds focused on the LORD, He in turn will keep us in what is known as Perfect Peace.
