There may be some things in life that we would like to do continually. Eating comes to mind. But eating continually causes other problems and soon becomes uncomfortable. Sleeping also comes to my mind. But I would miss out on so many wonderful things, like being with my family, if I were to try to sleep continually. I could watch baseball for a long time, but eventually I get bored and want to do something else. Though these things, and others, can bring us short-term satisfaction, they don’t seem to benefit us if we try to do them continually.
I Chronicles 16:11 says, “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually.” We are encouraged to seek God’s presence constantly, without interruption. He has promised to never leave us and His strength is always available to us. Seeking God’s presence continually and regularly draws upon the promises He has made to us.
