Psalm 105:4 Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

In the days when the Israelites carried the Ark of the Covenant, they relied on God and His strength which was demonstrated whenever the ark was with them.

The people learned to trust in God totally as long as the Ark was with them; we still seek physical comforts.

God wants us to rely on Him even when we cannot see a physical object we can relate to. Faith is believing in the unseen.

God will still show us signs so we can believe, but our faith is strengthened by believing in the unseen because that is when we see His real power!

Hebrews 6:13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself

When God made His promise to Abraham to be the forefather of a great nation, it was not a promise made in anybody else’s name but one made in His own name.

There is no greater name than God Himself, be in God the Father, Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit; there is no higher or greater name!

The most amazing part of this is Jesus Christ Himself is our High Priest who is praying for us and watching over us.

Lift up God’s name today and remember all He stands for!

Jeremiah 16:17 For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.

Jeremiah did not have a good message to deliver to the people of Israel to begin with, but the overall message was surprising to some.

We may think that God is going to turn us out and push us onto the streets because of all we do wrong, but He is looking out for us always.

God continues to love and protect us; part of that may well be teaching us to give up the bad stuff in our lives, but He aims for our betterment.

Listen to God and live with God to get the most from your life!

Psalm 51:9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.

When we are faithful to come to Christ and lift up our sins to Him in all honesty, He is faithful to forgive us of those sins.

He has promised us to separate us from those sins as far as the East is from the West; and He does when we bring them to Him.

But are we willing to live with the consequences of our sin as well? Are we willing to pay in kind?

Don’t go out and sin just because you know Christ has paid for it; change your life and walk with Christ!
