Hearts that Seek will Rejoice

O sing to the Lord, sing his praise; 

 tell all his wonderful works! 

Be proud of his holy name, 

 let the hearts that seek the Lord rejoice.

Ps.104:2,3

The psalmist calls us to lift our voices in praise to God. All who seek the Lord can rejoice.

There's joy just in seeking. "Seek and you will find," says Jesus. Even before finding, joy is promised. This joy is based on hope and yearning for fulfillment of that hope. The joy of finding is something more again.

Today is our Alpha Away Day, a day of seeking. I can expect joy to be part of the day.

Thank you Jesus that you are a joy to seek and a greater joy to find.  Holy Spirit, be our joy as we seek today.

Saint Philip Neri, please pray for us.
