Seeking Gods' Face

Good Morning!! All kind of thoughts race through our minds as we frantically look for that which is lost, that which we have taken for granted,...that which we now need so desperately. The scriptures offer many details about seeking the Lord's face. God reminds us in Jeremiah 29:13 that we must seek Him with all of our heart. We always tell nonbelievers that this could be their last day to receive the Lord because we are not promised tomorrow. We should seek Him in the same way. I think it has taken me a long time to realize what it means to seek His face. When seeking the face of God, I am not actually looking for eyes, nose, ears and a mouth. Seeking the face of God will actually be realized in the unexplainable peace that surrounds our spirit-filled days.
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.—Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
Seeking His face will be found in those God given blessings received by such an unworthy servant. Seeking His face will be experiencing unexplainable joy,...even in the midst of a tremendous trial! As I seek His face, I will be doing nothing more than spending time in His presence,...and that alone is a priceless reward,...a mountain top high, like none other. We might not ever have the sense of panic, that drives us to the Word every morning. However, when we  take the time to seek after the Lord and revel in His presence, we won't be filled with fear, when terrifying experiences inevitably come.

We all must start somewhere in our search, and right now you may not have a clue how to do this "seeking". Simply start by immersing yourself in His Word, and telling Him your hearts' desire, and being honest,...then search for friends or mentors, who can lead you on a solid path to His face.

Father, lead us to Your face. Help us to be obedient in seeking after You. We thank You now, for the ways that You have,...and will bless us in our awesome search of You! Amen.
"Our weakness, is where God can prove Himself to be our source of sufficiency."
