Today’s Scripture

“Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.”
— 1 CHRONICLES 16:11 (NIV)

The Twofold Path to Divine Power

1️⃣ LOOK UPWARD (“Look to the Lord”)

• Stop staring at:
  • Your weaknesses ❌
  • Your obstacles ❌
• Start seeing:
  • His track record of faithfulness ✅
  • His available strength right now ✅

2️⃣ SEEK CONSTANTLY (“seek his face always”)

• Not just His hands (what He can give)
• But His face (who He is)
• The difference between transaction and transformation

When You Seek First…

• Your battles become worship (2 Chronicles 20)
• Your fears become faith (Psalm 27:8)
• Your exhaustion becomes endurance (Isaiah 40:31)

Prayer of Reliance

Mighty God,
I confess I’ve been:
🔍 Searching Google before seeking You
💪 Leaning on my hustle instead of Your holiness

• Break my addiction to self-reliance
• Train my spiritual eyes to see You in every situation
• Fuel me with Your strength when mine fails

Today, I choose to:
☀️ Begin my day in Your presence
⚔️ Fight from victory, not for it
🙌 End by recounting Your faithfulness

In Jesus’ conquering name, Amen.

🔥 Seeking Challenge:

1. Write your boldest prayer → Place it where you’ll pray it daily
2. Text a friend: “What should we be seeking God for together?”
