“3 O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your holy hill
And to Your dwelling places.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.
5 Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.” Psalm 43:3-5.
Calvin, in his Commentary on this Scripture, states: “… The knowledge of the divine favor, it is true, must be sought for in the Word of God; nor has faith any other foundation on which it can rest with security except his word; … David declares what was the chief object of his desire, and what end he had in view in seeking deliverance from his calamities, when he says, Let them direct me, and lead me to thy holy hill. As the chief cause of his sorrow consisted in his being banished from the congregation of the godly, so he places the height of all his enjoyments in this, that he might be at liberty to take part in the exercises of religion, and to worship God in the sanctuary. …”
So, do you want to seek God? Do you want His favor?
Step one is to read His Word. “O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me”.
Step two is attend church. “Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy”.
