Seeking His Face

10 11 2014

???????????????????????????????Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;  I Chronicles 16:10-12

We can make a conscious decision to seek the face of the Lord.   Our desire is to be close to Him and to dwell in the center of His will for our lives.  He is our Heavenly Father that loves us and orders our steps along our journey.  Seeking His presence through prayer and praise provides a vital connection with the author and finisher of our faith.  We seek to know His word that provides careful instruction and shares the powerful narrative for His love for us.  He loves us and we desire to be closer to Him.  Seeking Him through prayer, praise and reading His word draws us closer to our Savior.  Jesus is the one we love and He loves us.

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.  Hebrews 11:6

Surrounded By Faith

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see.
Hebrew 11:1 Msg.

We are on a journey of faith. Each step of the way we are compelled to believe that we serve an all-powerful sovereign God. We serve a living God who is aware and cares about the issues of our lives. At times, we need to increase and stretch our faith in Him to provide for our needs. It is a time to surround ourselves with faith and to meditate on His promises: He provides salvation for those who believe in Jesus Christ, our Savior. He provides healing in response to believing prayer. He is a source of deliverance to our mind, body and soul. God loves us beyond measure. Our faith and confidence in God is a precious ingredient in pleasing service to Him. Our faith is to be nurtured and protected from unbelief and the negativity that may come to discourage us. Whatever we are facing, we can turn to Him. We can stand on His Word and remind ourselves of His unmerited favor and grace that has kept us thus far. We stand in faith with a deep knowing that He will never leave us alone and that there is no thing that can separate us from His love.

It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6 Msg.
