Psalm 70
… May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!” But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay! - From Psalm 70
Lord, you are my help and my deliverer. I seek to find gladness in you even while I ask you to bring me through my difficult days. I love your salvation and praise you by singing! God, you are great! Help me to remember this when it is hard to see. - Amen
What does it mean to you today to seek God? In seeking Him, watch for gladness on the way.
Friends, if the Holy Lens posts were compiled into a book, what would you like to see in terms of the Biblical references? The portion of Psalms as we see in each post or just a reference to the Psalm, encouraging readers to read the whole Psalm? I may have more questions later.
Thanks ahead of time for your input!

Once upon a time I read a devotional in the morning that only put the scripture reference, no actual verse(s). Some mornings I had time to look up the verse. Sometimes I even had time to look up multiple translations of the verse. However, the bulk of the days I only had time to read the devotional.
So when I started writing my own devotional, I made sure that the verse is always there along with what translation I’m using. That gives the reader the option to dig further if lead to do that. Otherwise I try not to put a burden on the reader.
Perhaps you could reference the whole passage but just quote the focus verse. Scripture penetrates, even when we don’t feel it, so I think it’s important to have the Word, not just the reference out there. You never know, it might be the only scripture the reader sees or hears that day.
