The psalmist gives us a good lesson here. He proclaims, "Seek the Lord", and that is what we should be doing each and every day. A good question is how can we do it? We can seek Him with Bible study, in service, in worship . . . we can do it in countless ways.

I think a good way to seek the Lord is referenced in verse 5. We can seek God by remembering what he has done for us. We can seek God by looking back in our own lives and see ways we have been touched by his holy hand. We can seek God by remembering the miracles both great and small that have come to us by God's blessing.

All these things I've mentioned are important ways that we should seek God. Let us always remember to look back and seek where God has worked in our lives and give thanksgivings for all the blessings he has bestowed.

Love,

Save the Date!

A Closing Prayer

Author of hope and renewal, though our bodies grow weak and our spirits faint within us, your word is not chained, but leads us ever forward. Teach us to bloom where we are planted and to pray for the welfare of all, that our hope may be kindled and our faith may be strengthened. In gratitude and deep joy, we pray. Amen.

                                                                         by B. J. Beu, The Abingdon Worship Annual
