In Psalms, chapter twenty-seven, verse four, as in Psalms twenty-six, the psalmist seeks the presence of God. It is the one thing he mostly treasured in his life, and he prays for it with singleness of purpose. God Himself calls all of us to the same purpose. “Seek ye my face,” as in verse eight. Those who do so, striving to dwell in God’s Holy presence, are assured that no matter what trials come, the Lord will never forsake them, as in verses nine through ten. They have no reason for despair. God’s goodness is held solely for them, as in verses thirteen to fourteen.
The theme under David’s Song of Confidence section depicts the first three verses with the firm belief that the Lord surrounds His people.
Boldly moving forward, having the reassurance that God is there in the midst. In Isaiah fifty-five, verse six declares, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.” There is a difference between seeking the Lord and seeking the Lord for things.
Several servants of God in the Old Testament seek the Lord and call upon Him. Abraham was the first. Before he got his name, his original name was Abram. In Genesis seventeen, verse five, “Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.” God changed his name, which teaches how significant he desires to be close to the Lord where God speaks to him, changing his name, which begins from the opening verse of the chapter up to the fifth.
When Abraham’s name was Abram, before getting the privilege of God speaking to him, he was obedient. Genesis twelve, verse one, “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee.” One thing believers should desire is obedience to the Lord through His Word. The other servants were David and Moses. Although they both did wrong, they still experienced God working tremendously and speaking to them due to their desire to communicate with Him.
