“The Infinite Pursuit”
February 26, 2026
Daily Devotional:
“The Infinite Pursuit”
1 Chronicles 16:11
"Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always."
In our world of "one-and-done" checklists, it’s easy to treat our spiritual life like a battery, something we charge once and then ignore until we’re running on empty. But David’s song of thanks in 1 Chronicles suggests a completely different rhythm.
The word for "seek" used here implies a frequent, frequenting, and persistent search. It’s not looking for something that is lost; it’s pursuing someone who is vital.
Before you look at your inbox, your bank account, or your reflection, look at Him. Look to the Lord, this is about focus. It’s a conscious shift of your internal compass. We often reach the end of our rope by noon. This verse invites us to stop white-knuckling our way through stress and instead plug into a power source that doesn't deplete. Look upon His strength and seek his face always. To seek someone’s "face" is to seek their presence and favor, not just their hands or what they can give you. And the word "always" means there is no "off-duty" time for the soul.
In what area of your life, are you currently relying on your own strength instead of His? What is the first thing you "look to" when you feel overwhelmed? How can you create a "micro-habit" today to seek His face in the middle of a busy schedule?
This is a reminder that spiritual burnout usually happens when we stop "looking" and start "doing" in our own power. In our daily rhythm of pursuing the Lord, it would be a breath by breath awareness that His power is what sustains us through the mundane and great tasks of the day.
