Seeking
the
Light of
His Face
Go
ahead
and give
God
thanks
for all
the
glorious
things
he has
done! Go
ahead
and
worship
him!
Tell
everyone
about
his
wonders!
Let’s
sing his
praises!
Sing,
and put
all of
his
miracles
to
music!
Shine
and make
your
joyful
boast in
him, you
lovers
of God.
Let’s be
happy
and keep
rejoicing
no
matter
what.
Seek
more of
his
strength!
Seek
more of
him!
Let’s
always
be
seeking
the
light of
his
face.
Don’t
you ever
forget
his
miracles
and
marvels.
Hold to
your
heart
every
judgment
he has
decreed.
(Psalms
105:1-5
TPT)
David
gives us
great
instructions
in these
5
verses:
• Give
thanks
•
Call on
His name
•
Make Him
known
•
Sing to
Him
• Tell
of His
acts
• Glory
in Him
•
Rejoice
•
Look to
His
strength
•
Seek Him
always
•
Remember
His
wonders,
miracles,
and
judgments
Today
these
words
stand
out:
SEEK
MORE OF
HIM!
LET’S
ALWAYS
BE
SEEKING
THE
LIGHT OF
HIS
FACE!
(v.4)
But
if from
there
you will
seek
(inquire
for and
require
as
necessity)
the Lord
your
God, you
will
find Him
if you
[truly]
seek Him
with all
your
heart
[and
mind]
and soul
and
life.
(Deuteronomy
4:29
AMPC)
Seek
the Lord
while He
may be
found;
Call
upon Him
while He
is near.
(Isaiah
55:6
NASB)
When
you are
seeking
something
or
someone,
you look
diligently
until
you find
what you
are
pursuing!
When we
are
seeking
the
intimate
presence
of the
Lord,
once or
occasionally
is not
enough.
We seek
Him
continually
and
habitually
while we
work,
while we
play; we
seek Him
when we
struggle
and when
we are
filled
with the
greatest
of joy!
We seek
Him
relentlessly,
endlessly,
continuously,
not for
what He
can do
for us,
but for
WHO HE
IS.
I
remind
myself,
“It’s
not
about
me.”
When you
look for
someone’s
help you
are
seeking
for
someone’s
assistance.
You need
their
service.
You want
that
person
to do
something
for you
so that
you can
remedy a
problem
or get
out of a
mess.
When you
get a
flat
tire,
you call
AAA to
fix it.
When you
have a
toothache,
you go
to the
dentist
for
help.
Each
time,
you are
seeking
the
service
that
person
offers.
When
a
believer
is
facing a
mountain
he/she
cannot
climb,
or is
walking
through
a dark
valley
of life,
God does
it a
different
way. He
does not
want you
to first
seek His
HELP but
instead
Seek His
Face.
(see
Matthew
5:33)
Seek
God’s
face
before
seeking
His
help.
God
wants
you to
know
Him.
Your
Creator
longs
for a
personal
relationship
with
you, His
creation.
He
desires
to
reveal
Himself
to you.
He longs
for you
to get
beyond
the
acquaintance
level.
When
Moses
sought
to know
God, he
got so
close to
Him he
had to
take off
his
shoes;
he
realized
he was
standing
on holy
ground.
When
Isaiah
sought
to know
God, he
got so
close he
had to
cry out
how
unclean
he
personally
felt he
was.
Yes,
God’s
hand is
important,
but His
Word
does not
tell us
to seek
His
hand,
His Word
teaches
us to
Seek
God’s
Face.
When you
seek
God’s
face,
you set
yourself
up for a
dramatic
change.
The
colossal
mountain
you are
facing
or the
deep
dark
valley
you are
walking
through
will
become
small in
comparison
to
experiencing
God’s
closeness,
goodness,
and
greatness.
Stormy
winds
are
breezes
in
comparison
to God’s
power.
Your
gigantic
‘issue’
shrinks
in
comparison
to God’s
closeness.
The
enormous
problem
you are
facing
no
longer
has its
grip on
you
because
you have
seen The
Light of
His
Face!
As
you Seek
His
Face,
you will
experience
His
closeness,
goodness
and
greatness
which
will
overwhelm
you. I
encourage
you to
Seek the
Light of
His Face
continually.
Don’t
let your
days get
away
from you
without
giving
praise
to your
Father.
Understand
His
praise
and
glory
should
continually
pour
from
your
lips no
matter
what.
Our God
is
faithful,
powerful,
loving,
and full
of
grace.
Allow
Him to
show you
more and
more of
who He
is
during
your
intimate
worship
time …
Seeking
the
Light of
His
Face.
Victorious
by His
Grace!
