"My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek."
Psalm 27:8
As we study waiting on the Lord, and we have covered that we are not to become inactive, it seems appropriate that we would come to this Psalm today. Because it is a discipline to seek the face of God, and it is a practice that Christians must pursue. But where it begins is the most interesting part, by far.
The Psalmist says that his heart tells him to seek the face of the Lord. And he follows this leading! Our brains and stomachs and lungs and feet all attempt to lead us at one time or another. The brain says we should go do or buy something; the stomach tells us we're hungry; the feet scream for either reprieve... or better shoes... but what do you do when your heart leads you?
Have you ever heard someone say that something "tugged on their heartstrings" about something? They, in that moment, for whatever reason, were being led by their heart. And if the heart is where we hide the Word (and it is), and it is where the Spirit speaks to us (and it is), then is it reasonable to assume that when you feel pulled to something it just might be a calling? Do you think that you just might be receiving instruction? Do you think maybe you should follow it?
Take time today to look into your own heart, and recognize that your heart, too, tells you to seek the face of God. Whether or not you follow that leading is up to you, friends. However, I can promise you that when you do follow it, the discoveries and the blessings and the warmth that comes from simply accepting that call are far greater than one can imagine until it happens. So seek His face today, encourage others to do the same, and honor the Lord in doing so!
God bless you all!!!
