David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 20th October 2024
Many biblical scholars think of 2 Chronicles 7:14 as the greatest formula for revival ever written. Regional and national revivals occur in the church with God’s people who are called by His name. We must humble ourselves, pray, and seek His face.
John Piper wrote, “Seeking the Lord means seeking his presence. ‘Presence’ is a common translation of the Hebrew word ‘face.’ Literally, we are to seek his ‘face.’ But this is the Hebraic way of having access to God. To be before his face is to be in his presence.”1
The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles tell us to “seek the Lord and His strength…evermore” (1 Chronicles 16:11), “to seek out all the commandments of…God” (1 Chronicles 28:8), and to set and to prepare our hearts to seek the Lord (2 Chronicles 11:16 and 12:14). The hearts of all those who seek the Lord are to rejoice (1 Chronicles 16:10).
Seeking God through prayer is serious business. Let’s not neglect it!
Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.
John Bunyan
John Piper, “What Does It Mean to Seek the Lord?,” Desiring God, August 19, 2009.
