First Chronicles chapter 16, verses 10 and 11. Glory in his holy name. Let the hearts of those who seek

the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his presence seek his presence continually I love these two

verses and the repetition of seek three times in these two verses so glory in his

holy name this is a picture of just oh praise the holy name of God and glory in it.

Like this is your delight just looking upon God in His holiness.

And then it says, let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

So there is joy that is found in seeking the Lord.

Just picture Psalm chapter 16. In your presence there is fullness of joy.

At your right hand are pleasures forever more. Fulness of joy, everlasting pleasure. So yes, we seek

the Lord. If we want joy in our lives, then it's found in seeking the Lord. And then verse 11, seek the Lord and his strength.

Oh, he's a fountain of strength for weary souls, for us in our weakness, and we are all weak.

Seek the Lord and his strength.

And then one more time, seek his presence continually.

Exclamation point.

What a way to live today. What a way to live

tomorrow. Just seeking his presence continually. From the moment you wake up in the morning, seek his presence.

As you're going throughout your day, seek his presence. Just look to him, eyes fixed on him.

As you lay your head down on your pillow at night, seek his presence continually all the time,

knowing there's strength in his presence and there's joy in his presence.

And a million other things, but that's what verses 10 and 11 here in First Chronicle 16 focus on.

And so let's just pray straight according to this word. Oh God, we glory in your name.
