Susan LaffertySeek His face.
During a three-year famine, David inquires of the Lord. Literally—David seeks the face of the Lord.
In the midst of difficulty and dryness. When things seem not as they should be. I wrestle with the whys.
Then remember.
“Seek the Lord and His strength;
seek His face always” (1 Chronicles 16:11).
“Please….”
Once again, Moses stands at the foot of Sinai. Also known as Horeb.
This time he’s not alone with the sheep.
But with a multitude. Led out of captivity.
A disobedient, fickle flock.
“Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted….”
He will build you a strong and beautiful foundation. Sapphires. And your wall? Precious stones. (Isaiah 54:11-12)
Then, that word mothers hear. And sigh in relief.
“All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
and great shall be the peace of your children.” (Isaiah 54:13)
Hope. For the city of Zion.
