Desperate for Strength: Seek His Face, Lead from Overflow | 1 Chronicles 16:11
About This Video
“Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.” David didn’t lead by grind—he led by abiding. In this teaching, we unpack why dependence on God is your greatest competitive advantage in life and business. We’ll get practical: the difference between seeking His strength (help) and seeking His face (presence), how to build daily rhythms that keep you rooted, and how leaders who abide show up with clarity, creativity, and resilience. Presence beats pressure—lead from His strength, not your striving. Takeaways -Dependence isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom—and your edge under pressure. -Seek His face (relationship) and you’ll receive His strength (resourcing). -Abiding leaders are focused, not frantic—clarity flows from communion. -Build rhythms (Scripture, silence, prayer) before strategies (OKRs, sprints). -You don’t need to be louder to be effective—you need to be more rooted. Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life—and this week, seek His face before you open your inbox. Where are you tempted to rely on your own strength—and what would change if you truly sought His face first?
