Earnestly Seeking December 19, 2018




Psalm 80:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.

In the days of Jesus' birth, there was a group of devout and lowly people who still looked for God's redemption. They knew that salvation could not, and would not, come without great cost — not just to themselves, but also to God. Isaiah had hinted about this in his Servant Songs (see Isaiah 53). They had experienced in their own history. So with honest hearts, they confessed that they didn't have the power to bring salvation and deliverance. This power had to come from God and had to be released to people who were seeking God's transformation in their lives. They needed to ask God for it! They needed to seek his face, his presence, in their daily lives. So must we!

Thought for today: Am I in the practice of seeking righteousness?
