Seeking

Psalm 105:4  Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!  

That was today's daily verse from the Bible app on my phone.  I try to read it before I even leave the snuggly warm comfort of my blankets in he morning.  I figure the best way to start my thinking off right is to start with the Word of God!  Heaven knows I do enough junk thinking during the rest of the day!  LOL

As I lay there, I thought about this verse for a few minutes and kind of felt a bit discouraged that I seem to lose the Lord in the busyness of daily activities...Thankfully, I reconnect throughout the day. But I want more!!  I want His presence continually!!  And this verse tells me I am to seek after that. It's not just about Him "visiting" me, but about me seeking Him out.

So now my questions arise.  How?  How do I seek Him continually?  Prayer.  Bible reading.  Bible apps on the phone,  Good music on the radio.  Talking about Him.  Fellowship with other believers. Turning my mind back to His presence.  Meditating on Him, His Word, His blessings.  Thankfulness. There really are a lot of ways to keep our awareness up.

Lord, help us to utilize all the resources, especially the blessed Holy Spirit who lives in us to remain in Your presence continually.  We all have so many distractions, good things, bad things....they turn our eyes away from You.  Lord, be forefront in my thoughts and in my heart.  In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Today, the Lord asks you to turn your thoughts to His presence.  How will you do that today?
