DAILY REFLECTION

2 April 2025

“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!"

1 Chronicles 16:11

A life of faith flourishes when we recognize God’s sovereignty, draw upon His strength, and seek His presence with unwavering devotion.

Charles Stanley, founder of In Touch Ministries and senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta for nearly 50 years, dedicated his life to these principles. Under his steadfast leadership, the church became a lighthouse of faith and hope, reaching people far beyond its walls. Through global broadcasts, Stanley's heartfelt teachings touched millions, blending biblical truth with practical wisdom to guide believers in their walk with God. He was a shining example of seeking God’s guidance in every season of life. His words encouraged obedience, trust, and a life centered on God’s presence. Promoted to glory on April 18, 2023, at the age of 90, his impact endures - a powerful reminder of the transformation that comes when we root our lives in God's strength and seek His face continually.

1 Chronicles 16:11 calls believers to humble reliance on the Lord, to prioritise worship, and to find purpose and empowerment through daily communion with Him.

“A life spent in the service of God and communion with Him is the most pleasant life that anyone can live in this world.”
