Seek The Lord Continuously

SEEK THE LORD CONTINUOUSLY

by HELEN STEINER RICE



IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO SAY "I BELIEVE,"
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO ASK AND RECEIVE,
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO REPEAT THE LORD'S PRAYER,
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST SAY, "I CARE"
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO BE PLEASANT AND KIND,
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOD IN YOUR MIND,
IT'S NOT ENOUGH JUST TO FEED THE POOR,
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO FORBEAR AND ENDURE,
FOR WHILE THESE THINGS ARE ALL GOOD TO DO
THEY CANNOT INSURE SALVATION FOR YOU,
FOR NOT UNTIL YOU ARE BORN ANEW
CAN THE SPIRIT OF GOD BE ALIVE IN YOU,
FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL SOON BE DEAD
UNLESS IT IS DAILY NOURISHED AND FED!







I HAVE NOT HIDDEN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
WITHIN MY HEART; I HAVE DECLARED YOUR
FAITHFULNESS AND
YOUR SALVATION;I HAVE NOT CONCEALED YOUR
LOVINGKINDNESS AND YOUR TRUTH
FROM THE GREAT ASSEMBLY.



PSALM 40:10
NKJV



O LORD, YOU LIGHT
MY LAMP.
MY GOD TURNS MY
DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.



PSALM 18:28

LIGHT IS SOWN FOR THE RIGHTEOUS,
AND GLADNESS FOR THE UPRIGHT IN HEART.



PSALM 97:11

I WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN YOU;
I WILL SING PRAISE TO YOUR NAME,
O MOST HIGH.

BUT LET THE GODLY REJOICE.
LET THEM BE GLAD IN GOD'S PRESENCE.
LET THEM BE FILLED WITH JOY.



PSALM 68:3

YOU BESTOW ON HIM BLESSINGS FOREVER;
YOU MAKE HIM GLAD WITH THE JOY OF YOUR PRESENCE.

FOR YOUR UNFAILING LOVE IS AS HIGH
AS THE HEAVENS.
YOUR FAITHFULNESS REACHES TO THE CLOUDS.
