7/31/97 Seek His Face
(If it is welcome and a blessing, send it on to others,Lee)
Why are you so surprised at the trials and tribulations? It's part of the tempering processing of a Christian. It brings good fruit says James.
I know that I am going through one of those times. And I want to say that the Lord's peace in this time is more than enough.
In the middle of it, I see fruit coming forth I have never had. I see that God is using this time to remove more things from my life (more than I ever thought I had that could be removed and leave a whole person!!!)
And yet I want what God has for me so much right now, that I feel like I can't get it all. I feel like a man who has come out of desert needing water. And I wonder if I feel that I want all that He has, might that desire be imparted to others?
As I prepare for the tent, things within are peaceful. Not the things around me, but me. I want to see thousands saved, having the same desire for the Lord that I have.
In these times, I need your prayers, and I know that God is doing a work. I am excited about it. Seeing the Lord touching lives and giving them a hunger for Him.
And I feel like it began with a simple scripture, packed with punch.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
This was a catalyst to what began here,in me, in others. All of sudden I realize my thirst for the things of the Lord has been increased.
Seeking His face it says. I heard a teaching about seeking His face (Not the same as only seeking His things.) only last night and relized as I typed the scripture, that it has great impact.
Today, meditate on the scripture above. If you are looking for change and desire Him to do it, take the time to see His desire here.
Selah.
Shalom.
