    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 at the grocery store.

    Seek his face in your family.

    Seek his face, Beloved.

    It’s a good face.

    Just to be with God.  Do you ever want that?  Do you ever have those moments when you get past wanting from God and just want God?

    If you are anything like me, those moments are too few and too far between.

    But then, the New Year is about fresh starts and making changes, isn’t it?

    So, how many things are you asking God for in 2014?

    How about just one?

    This one.

  • Do Over

    It’s the saving grace of many a childhood game.

    Party Hats

    It’s the secret wish of every man.

    It’s the Do Over.

    Tell me you’ve never wished for it.  The chance to go back and take the shot, make the investment, show the self-discipline, learn the skill, do the bold and dangerous thing, the “What if?” (more…)
