4. Seek the Lordand his strength. Put yourselves under his
protection. Regard him not as a puny God but look unto his omnipotence, and
seek to know the power of his grace. We all need strength; let us look to the
strong place, let us look to the Almighty Jehovah for it. Seek his face evermore.
Seek, seek, seek, we have the word three times, and though the words differ in
the Hebrew, the sense is the same. It must be a blessed thing to seek,
or we should not be thus stirred up to do so. To seek his face is to desire his
presence, his smile, his favor consciously enjoyed. First we seek him,
then his strength, and then his face; from the personal
reverence, we pass on to the imparted power, and then to the conscious favor.
This seeking must never cease—the more we know, the more we must seek to know.
