Psa 27:8 When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD , I will seek.”
Seeking the Lord refers to seeking his presence. ” Presence ” is a common Hebrew phrase for the word ” face”. To be before his face is to be in his presence. It is a conscious fixing of our mind’s attention and our heart’s affection on God.( John Piper)
Seeking God’s face goes deeper than just making petitions and requests. It involves spending time with God listening to his heart and thoughts for ourselves, our families, congregations and even our nation. As we seek His face, we get to know his feelings and plans for our lives.
As we seek his face with all our hearts and turn away from wickedness, He will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our land.
*Jer 29:12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Jer* 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
