You have said, “Seek
my face.”
My heart says to you,
“Your face, LORD, do I seek.” (ESV) Psalms 27:8
My heart says to you,
“Your face, LORD, do I seek.” (ESV) Psalms 27:8
“Seek my face” is the invitation from God to everyone. God’s
desire is that we may seek His face. Many times, believers seek His hand for
just blessing. But God’s desire is that we may seek Him and follow Him – seeking the
FACE of God. Jesus said that seeking Him should be our first priority - first
place in your life. The Psalmist responded to God’s invitation to seek God from
his heart: “Your face, LORD, do I seek.” The Hebrew word for seek means “to search
out, to strive after.” It shows the
heart desire, passion and determination of the Psalmist towards God. In Ps.27:4,
he expresses that he wants to dwell in the presence of God all the days of his life
and gaze upon God’s beauty. He had a heart that is completely driven and directed
to the face of God.
What is the desire your heart? How much you are seeking Him? Are
you seeking His face?
