Seek His Face

Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name; 

make known his deeds among the peoples. 

 Sing to him, sing praises to him, 

and speak of all his marvelous works.

 Glory in his holy Name; let the hearts

 of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 

 Search for the Lord and his strength; 

continually seek his face. 

 Remember the marvels he has done, 

his wonders and the judgments of his mouth, 

 O offspring of Abraham his servant, 

O children of Jacob his chosen. 

 He is the Lord our God; his judgments

 prevail in all the world. 

 He has always been mindful of his covenant, the promise he made for a thousand generations: Psalm 105:1-8

We find ourselves in perilous times and don't know what to do. We humans like our routines and our traditions. We can feel overwhelmed by change and transitions. Even the ones we planned and were expecting overwhelm us. And we struggle to find sure footing and safety in these times. The good news for us today is that when we find ourselves overwhelmed and shaken to our core, we need only to seek out Jesus and our Creator. The ancient promises of love, faithfulness and joy has never failed. Seek the one who is the author of all love and abundance today. Whether work, or personal, when our lives are shattered and in tatters, seek his face. Seek the one who is love incarnate, who promises to bring new life in the midst of this broken world.

Faithful Creator, who walked with the ancestors,

your love is real among us in these times

you have shown your love in all generations

and will not let us down in the days ahead.

We walk around like those who are dead

we stumble in the midst of sudden changes

we cry out loud and feel abandoned

yet you still have more life for us all.

Help us to sing your praises in the dark

help us to seek you when we cannot sleep

give us your strength in times of our weakness

and help us see you love blossoming today. Amen.
