Reading:<\/p>\n

Psalm 24<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The Greatest Generation, The Me Generation — sometimes a generation comes along that seems to distinguish itself in a certain way.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how my generation distinguishes itself. However, I know that this is how I want to distinguish myself:<\/p>\n

“This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.”<\/span> (Psalm 24:6).<\/p>\n

It’s a desire I have — to seek God. <\/p>\n

Or maybe I should say that my desire is this: to desire to seek God.<\/p>\n

When I am puzzled and confused.<\/p>\n

When I am distressed and discouraged.<\/p>\n

When I am happy and upbeat.<\/p>\n

When I am confident and energetic.<\/p>\n

When I am too busy and when I don’t know what to do with myself.<\/p>\n

When I am satisfied and at peace as well as when I am dissatisfied and restless.<\/p>\n

All the time and any time — I want to be one who easily and frequently turns to God.<\/p>\n

Set himself to seek the LORD (2 Chronicles 20:33)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
