Meditate on verse 11.

 

Seek the LORD and His strength;

 seek His face continually.

 

The ark of God represented God’s presence, and in His presence, the Levites ministered by celebrating, thanking, and praising Him (v. 4).  Ask the LORD to give you a joyful, grateful heart to serve in His presence.

 

Celebrate, thank, and praise the LORD with 1 Chronicles 16:8-12, 23-29, 31, and 34-36 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7). 

 

“Oh, thank You, LORD, I call upon Your name and

make known Your deeds among the peoples.

I sing to You, sing praises to You, and speak of

 all Your wonders.  I glory in Your holy name.

  Let the heart of __________, who seeks You, be glad.

 We seek You and Your strength.  We seek Your

 face continually.  We remember Your wonderful

deeds which You have done, Your marvels and the

 judgments from Your mouth.  Let all the earth sing

 to You, LORD!  We proclaim good tidings of Your

 salvation from day to day.  We tell of Your glory

 among the nations, Your wonderful deeds among

 all the peoples.  For great are You, LORD, and greatly

 to be praised; You also are to be feared above all gods.

 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but LORD,

You made the heavens.  Splendor and majesty

 are before You; strength and joy are in Your place.

 Glory and strength belong to You, LORD.  We give

glory to Your name and worship You.  LORD, You reign!

 We give thanks to You, LORD, for You are good; for Your

lovingkindness is everlasting.  Save us, O God of

our salvation, and gather us and deliver us to give

 thanks to Your holy name and glory in Your praise. 

Blessed be You, LORD, the God of Israel and the God

 of my family, from everlasting, even to everlasting.  Amen.”
