Seek My Face.


You have said, "Seek my face."
My heart says to you,
"Your face, O Lord, do I seek."
Psalm 27:7

How do we seek the Lord's face? By prayer and Bible study.

The Bible says God is our friend. When we have a close friend, we seek their company. We ask them to go to a movie with us, or go camping with us. It is the same with God. We ask him to be with us each day. We tell him what we have been doing and what we are thinking. Yes, he already knows these things, but he wants us to share our thoughts and feelings with him as with a friend.

Reading the Bible can be hard for some people. However, it can be made easy this way. Start with the New Testament, say the book of John, and read one or two verses a day. Think on what those verses are saying and how they could apply in your life. Talk with God about those verses and ask him to help you understand and remember what he is trying to teach you.

So, "Seek the Lord, while he may be found. Call upon him, while he is near."
