Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him.This verse emphasizes that our faith should be "active." That is, rather than sitting back and waiting for spiritual revelations, let us begin this year by actively, and continually, seeking God.
To be sure, that word "continual" is intimidating. But note that "continual" is not the same as "continuous." Continuous actions are completely ongoing and uninterrupted. I'm guessing that continuous prayer, although certainly desirable, is probably not possible for the human brain. (At least, not mine!)
But the word continual is essentially a more intense version of the word frequent. For example, as humans we do not continuously eat, but we do continually eat.
So in this new year, let us aim for a continual relationship with God. Let us continually seek his spiritual food. A good way is to start a Bible reading plan, and stick with it!
