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).
Uninvited fears press against the window.
And slip in through the cracks.
Seeping into the throng of thoughts populating our minds.
Hitching themselves to “what if’s” and “why’s” and “how’s.”
Never fails to catch my heart. Luminous words about the Savior. Back in the major and minor prophets.
Mystery to the listeners.
But revealed to us in the New Testament and the coming of Christ.
Today, consider Isaiah 64 and Israel’s prayer.
