In Ps 27:8 David wrote, “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek”.   Wouldn’t it be something to see the LORD’s face.  But no one ever has.  We know that “no man hath seen God at anytime”.

When the LORD spoke to Moses, he spoke to him “mouth to mouth”, Num 12:8; and the LORD knew him “face to face”, Deut 34:10.  Yet Moses wasn’t able to see his face.  He only saw his back parts when the LORD passed by him, Ex 33:23.

True enough, when people saw Jesus in his earthly ministry, they saw the Lord.  Jesus said, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father”, Jn 14:9.  But ‘we’ won’t see him face to face until he returns, 1 Cor 13:12.

According to 2 Cor 3:18, “we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord”.  We aren’t able to see his face, but we see in a glass the glory of the Lord.  And when we do, the Spirit of God changes us into the same image in the glass, Rom 8:29.

Where is this glass into which we look?  Jas 1:22-24 shows us that the glass is the word of God.  If a man looks in the book and doesn’t do what he sees and hears, he’s like a man beholding his natural face in the glass.  But if he looks in the word and does what he sees and hears, then he sees Jesus, the Word of God.  And he changes, over time, into the image that he sees in the glass, the word of God.

So, when the Lord says to us, Seek ye my face, you can seek his face in his words.  And when you do what he shows you, you can begin to see him in you.  Let’s be like David, who said, “my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek”.
