The Key to the Man of God’s Strength

“My heart says of you, ‘Seek his face!’ Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Psalm 27:8 (NIV)

“The key to David’s strength, to his victories and successes can be found in the Psalms he wrote. All the time, he was saying, ‘O God, I seek Your face; I want to be in Your presence.’ Pleasing God was not a boring duty to David but the longing of a lover for his beloved.”  (Source: page 68, Prayer Changes Nations by Ulf Ekman)

Consider the longing of David’s heart in the following 2 verses:

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.” Psalm 27:4 (NKJV)

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” Psalm 27:13-14 (NKJV)

God is the Strength of our life. As Paul has said by the revelation of Jesus Christ:

 ^“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)

We need to come to our secret place and fellowship with God so that He will reveal to us the hidden truths contain in His Word and obey what He says. Jesus says, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.” John 14:23b – 24 (NKJV)

Let’s stir up our faith by hearing the word of God constantly and take up the passion of Christ to please our Heavenly Father.
