Encouragement: Seek his presence continually!

Today I bring you encouragement from 1 Chronicles 16:8-34

8 Give thanks to the Lord!
Call on his name!
Make known his accomplishments among the nations!
9 Sing to him! Make music to him!
Tell about all his miraculous deeds!
10 Boast about his holy name!
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives!
Seek his presence continually!
12 Recall the miraculous deeds he performed,his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,
13 O children of Israel,
God’s servant,you descendants of Jacob,
God’s chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;he carries out judgment throughout the earth.
15 Remember continually his covenantal decree,the promise he made to a thousand generations
16 the promise he made to Abraham,the promise he made by oath to Isaac!
17 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,to Israel as a lasting promise,
18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaanas the portion of your inheritance.”
19 When they were few in number,just a very few, and foreign residents within it,
20 they wandered from nation to nation,and from one kingdom to another.
21 He let no one oppress them,he disciplined kings for their sake,
22 saying, “Don’t touch my anointed ones!
Don’t harm my prophets!”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth!Announce every day how he delivers!
24 Tell the nations about his splendor,tell all the nations about his miraculous deeds!
25 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise,he is more awesome than all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are worthless,but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Majestic splendor emanates from him,he is the source of strength and joy.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength!
29 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves!Bring an offering and enter his presence!Worship the Lord in holy attire!
30 Tremble before him, all the earth!
The world is established, it cannot be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be happy!
Let the nations say, ‘The Lord reigns!’
32 Let the sea and everything in it shout!
Let the fields and everything in them celebrate!
33 Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth!
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his loyal love endures.

God is in our lives always. I have been struggling with this piece of scripture for weeks now. My electronic bible has been opening to

"Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength! "

I did not knowingly set it to open here. So I tonight said to God 'Okay Lord I am going to post this to the blog'

After I pasted the text here suddenly I start to see the wonder of these words of David and the faith filled message.

So I will let these words speak to you as they are speaking to me.

"Give thanks to the Lord!
Call on His name!
Make known His accomplishments among the nations!
Sing to Him!
Make music to Him!
Tell about all His miraculous deeds!
Boast about His holy name!
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
Seek the Lord and the strength He gives!
Seek His presence continually!"

I need to see and live out "Seek the Lord and the strength He gives! Seek His presence continually!"

These are words to live by as in them, we find life.

Amen.........
