Seeking God’s Face.
1 Chronicles 16:11
“Seek the Lord and His strength. Seek His face evermore.”
Jeremiah 29:12-13
“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.”
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
How do we seek God’s face? How do we seek the Lord?
The Hebrew word for face means “presence”
When we are seeking God’s face, are are seeking ” His Presence”
As Christians we are to seek God’s Presence always.
How do we do that?
Prayer.
When we pray, we are communicating with and seeking God’s Presence in our lives.
Prayer is the heart crying out to God. Prayer is the delight of the Lord Jesus.
Prayer is seeking God, the Creator of the Universe, the Creator of all life, and Jesus our Saviour and Friend.
When we pray – with a sympathizing heart, Jesus comforts us in our times of distress.
Prayer is telling God all our troubles and concerns. We can confide in Him, and tell Him everything. ( He already knows.) Telling Him our needs and asking for guidance and protection.
Prayer is giving praise and thanksgiving to God for His lovingkindness and tender mercies and His compassions to you.
Prayer is the celebration of the soul. Prayer brings you joy and happiness. Prayer is a balm for the weary soul.
How wonderful it to know that you can talk to, converse with, the Great, Mighty, all Powerful and Awesome God and He hears you.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
We should always keep the lines of communication open between God and us.
Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by Prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
