In Pursuit

Seek: to inquire after; aspire for; endeavor to discover; go in search of; beseech; pursue; labour after.

In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. -- Psalm 10:4
He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the LORD. -- 2 Chronicles 12:14
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. -- Psalm 14:1-2

How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? -- Psalm 4:2-4

Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God. He removed the foreign altars and the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to obey his laws and commands. -- 2 Chronicles 14:2-4

Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the LORD, who is good, pardon everyone who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary." And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people. -- 2 Chronicles 30:18-20

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. -- Psalm 27:4

I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. -- Song of Solomon 2:2a

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. -- 1 Chronicles 16:8-11
