In His Face

In His Face

In Psalm 27:8, David makes one of the most intriguing expressions of worship:

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”

Your face, LORD, I will seek.

Seeking the face of God sounds fascinating, mysterious and wonderful. Actually doing it is a whole new experience.

As a child, did you ever get lost? I remember getting lost in a crowded mall. I saw tons of people. But I was only seeking one face—my Mom’s. When I was lost, I felt scared and confused. When I finally saw my Mom’s face, it brought me peace and comfort. I found something familiar in my Mom’s face, a face I could trust and know. In the same way, I often seek God’s face now when I feel lost and am in search of peace, comfort and the familiar.

I often seek my wife’s face too. Most often it is to kiss her and listen to her while we lie close to each other. This “seeking someone’s face” is about intimacy. It is about being close physically, emotionally and spiritually. Can you imagine wanting to be that close to our God?

I also seek God’s face when I need Him to love me, and when I want Him to know that I love Him too. Can you picture God whispering to you, “Seek My face”? God wants you to look Him in the eyes. He wants you to see His mouth speak to you. He wants you to see His tears. He wants you to see Him smile. He wants you to see Him laugh. More than His any facial expression, God wants you to see His heart.
