In the context of the Old Testament, seeking the LORD involves a heartfelt desire to know God and align oneself with His will. This pursuit is not passive but active, requiring intentional effort and commitment. Historically, seeking God was central to the life of Israel, as it was through seeking Him that they found guidance, protection, and blessing. In a conservative Christian perspective, this call to seek the LORD is timeless, urging believers to prioritize their relationship with God above all else, continually striving to grow closer to Him through prayer, study of Scripture, and obedience.<p><b>and His strength</b><br />The term "strength" in Hebrew is "&#1506;&#1465;&#1494;" (oz), which conveys might, power, and refuge. This phrase emphasizes reliance on God's power rather than human strength. Throughout biblical history, God's strength was evident in His deliverance of Israel from Egypt, His provision in the wilderness, and His victories over enemies. For Christians, this strength is available through the Holy Spirit, empowering believers to overcome challenges and live victoriously. It is a reminder that true strength comes from God, and in our weakness, His power is made perfect.<p><b>seek His face always</b><br />"Face" in Hebrew is "&#1508;&#1464;&#1468;&#1504;&#1460;&#1497;&#1501;" (panim), often used metaphorically to represent God's presence and favor. To "seek His face" is to desire an intimate relationship with God, seeking His presence continually. The use of "always" underscores the importance of consistency and perseverance in this pursuit. In the historical context, seeking God's face was associated with worship and prayer, where individuals and the community sought God's guidance and blessing. For Christians, this phrase encourages a life of constant communion with God, where seeking His presence becomes a daily practice, leading to spiritual growth and deeper fellowship with the Creator.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/105.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(4) <span class= "bld">Seek the Lord.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">Enquire after Jehovah and his power. </span>The congregation is directed to the historical survey which follows.
