Why We Gather

Psalm 105: 1-4

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations what he has done.
 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
    tell of all his wonderful acts.
  Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
  Look to the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face always.

Since we are starting off our year studying the life of King David and how he lived chasing the heart of God I thought it fitting that we look at this Psalm.  It reminds me of why we set aside Wednesday mornings to come together, and what our ultimate purpose is as a community. 

Our ultimate purpose, like David, is to seek God. 

We seek Him by calling upon his name.

We seek him through worship.

We seek him and our hearts rejoice.

We seek him and gain spiritual strength.

We...his beloved daughters...have the intimate privilege of seeking his face.

Whether tomorrow will be your first step into Mothers Together or the start of your sixth year, David reminds us that we are to seek his face always.  Always.  In case we grow stagnant, in case we assume our own righteousness, in case we fear he doesn't want to be near us, David reminds us that we can step into the presence of the Creator of the universe, Redeemer of our lives, and Heavenly Father and come face to face with him.  I love it when I can look into the eyes of my children and remind them of how loved and adored they are and I think God desires to do the same with us. 

So let's journey together this year and see how this renewing and transformational relationship God is offering us through his own son, Jesus, has ties to a shepherd boy named David, who when God looked at his heart, saw not a father's last choice or a boy fit for sheep tending, but a mighty warrior king purposed to rule God's people.

Excited to seek alongside each of you!
