Roy had been married to his wonderful wife, Carol for more than 45 years when she was diagnosed with cancer. She was his stalwart, the pillar of his very existence. Roy was the pastor of a small yet thriving church. He was its visionary and spiritual strength but Carol was the one who held it all together. How would he ever survive if she passed on?
Weeks and months passed. Carol’s prognosis was dire. Chemotherapy had taken its toll. Sadly, after a tough battle with pneumonia, Carol passed away. Roy was devastated. How would he cope? He had always rested in the counsel of his Lord and now, more than ever, he called on Jesus for strength and hope.
Psalm 105:4
Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!
“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face evermore,” he read. “Remember his marvellous works which he has done.” God’s word was Roy’s hope. He remembered the many good years when his Lord had strengthened him through adverse circumstances. Carol by his side, he had faced gruelling opposition to his ministry. Together they had faced times of need and hardship, yet their Lord had never abandoned them; his love, grace and provision had sustained them through it all. “Lord, Carol is not with me anymore, but I know she is with you. Though separated by the great divide, I know we’re still together, in you, and soon I will be by her side again. I remember your marvellous works, O Lord, and seek your face for today and tomorrow,” Roy prayed.
Loss, depression, disappointment and bereavement face us all from time to time. It could be you’re presented with a situation today where you’ve lost the one thing that held your head above the raging tides. As Roy did, I encourage you, in your dilemma, to seek your Lord’s face evermore. Remember how he guided you through hardships in the past and trust that he will do the same again. He who knows your tomorrow will guide you through today.
God-tracking is seeking his face evermore.
