number 1My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”  Your face, Lord, I will seek. (Psalm 27:8)  

This is part of that whole, “One thing I ask of the Lord…” idea we saw on Tuesday.  Yesterday was a holiday, and it’s easy to get all “New Man”ish when you are outside your normal routine.  Today, as you go back to the “real world,” the call to seek God can be harder to hear and obey.

God has placed within us the desire to know him.  Sure, that desire gets twisted by sin and buried by the world, but it remains.  Listen to the cry of your heart—it’s giving you good advice.  Jesus tells us to ask, to seek, to knock.  Take the time to do that today, not just this morning, but all through your day.  Set the pattern.

Seek his face in the glorious sunrise.

Seek his face in the traffic.

Seek his face in the work you perform.

Seek his face in the face of your coworkers.

Seek his face at the grocery store.

Seek his face in your family.

Seek his face, Beloved.

It’s a good face.
