Seek Him, Abide in Him; Repeat Daily

When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You, “Your face, O LORD, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].” (Psalm 27:8)

Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually [longing to be in His presence]. (1 Chronicles 16:11)

Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)

But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)

The LORD is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him, To those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word]. (Lamentation 3:25)

Therefore the LORD waits [expectantly] and longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed (happy, fortunate) are all those who long for Him [since He will never fail them]. (Isaiah 30:18)

Wait for and expect the LORD and keep His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; [In the end] when the wicked are cut off, you will see it. (Psalm 37:34)

But He knows the way that I take [and He pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I will come forth as [refined] gold [pure and luminous].

My feet have carefully followed His steps; I have kept His ways and not turned aside.

I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have kept the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. (Job 23:10-12)

So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll. He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. (Ezekiel 3:3)

Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts. (Jeremiah 15:16) I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

That I may keep Your word.

I have not turned aside from Your ordinances,

For You Yourself have taught me.

How sweet are Your words to my taste,

Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

From Your precepts I get understanding;

Therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path. (Psalm 119:101-105)

The nations [the redeemed people from the earth] will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring into it their glory. (Revelation 21:24)

Listen carefully and hear the words of the wise,

And apply your mind to my knowledge;

For it will be pleasant if you keep them in mind [incorporating them as guiding principles];

Let them be ready on your lips [to guide and strengthen yourself and others].

So that your trust and reliance and confidence may be in the LORD,

I have taught these things to you today, even to you.

Have I not written to you excellent things

In counsels and knowledge. (Proverbs 22:17-20) Bind them continually upon your heart (in your thoughts), And tie them around your neck.

When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will keep watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching [of the law] is light, And reproofs (rebukes) for discipline are the way of life. (Proverbs 6:21-23)
