I. The Secret of the Lord

Jeremiah 29:12–14 “…call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you. You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the LORD…”

Deuteronomy 4:29 “…you will seek the LORD your God and you will find Him, if you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Matthew 7:7–8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”

Matthew 13:22 “As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.”

II. The Satisfaction of the Lord

129 Your Son Jesus is wonderful; therefore my soul longs for Him.
130 The unfolding of who He is gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.

132 Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is Your way with those who love Him.
133 Keep steady my steps according to Your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
134 Redeem me from oppression that I may live in the Law of Christ more.
135 Make Your face shine upon me Your servant, and teach me more about Jesus.
136 My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not honor Him, the Righteous One.
