Psalm 27:7-14….who do we seek…

 

Psalm 27:7-14….who do we seek….

Two of my husband’s favorite verses  are found in the book of Matthew…

 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Matt.7.7-8

As a surprise when we repainted one of our houses one time, I had them painted on the wall in our bedroom…so they were the first verses we saw upon awakening…ask, seek, find….what promises…..

7. Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;be gracious to me and answer me! 

 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

Ps.13.3

8.You have said, “Seek my face.”My heart says to you,“Your face, Lord, do I seek.”     

 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;my soul thirsts for you;my flesh faints for you,as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Ps.63.1

 Glory in his holy name;let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 

Seek the Lord and his strength;seek his presence continually!

Ps.105.3,Ps.105.4

 I love those who love me,and those who seek me diligently find me.

Prov.8.17

 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matt.6.33

9.Hide not your face from me.

Turn not your servant away in anger,O you who have been my help.

Cast me not off; forsake me not,O God of my salvation! 

 Hide not your face from your servant,for I am in distress; make haste to answer me.

Ps.69.17

10. For my father and my mother have forsaken me,but the Lord will take me in. 

11.Teach me your way, O Lord,and lead me on a level path because  of my enemies. 

 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies;make your way straight before me.

Ps.5.8

 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;teach me your paths.

Ps.25.4

 Teach me your way, O Lord,that I may walk in your truth;unite my heart to fear your name.

Ps.86.11

12.Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;for false witnesses have risen against me,and they breathe out violence. 

 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;for false witnesses have risen against me,and they breathe out violence.

Ps.27.12

 but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward…

Matt.26.60

13. I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! 

 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,which you have stored up for those who fear youand worked for those who take refuge in you,in the sight of the children of mankind!

Ps.31.19

 But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter.I did not know it was against me-they devised schemes, saying,“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,let us cut him off from the land of the living,that his name be remembered no more.”

Jer.11.19

 then I will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty in the land of the living.

Ezek.26.20

14. Wait for the Lord;be strong, and let your heart take courage;wait for the Lord!

 I waited patiently for the Lord;he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction,out of the miry bog,and set my feet upon a rock,making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth,a song of praise to our God.Many will see and fear,and put their trust in the Lord.

Ps.40.1-3

 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him,to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

Lam.3.24-26

Thank YOU….

Seek ye first….
