Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
You have said, “Seek my face.”
My heart says to you,
“Your face, LORD, do I seek.”
What do you seek? If that question was asked to the average person on the street they would answer “happiness, success, retirement, etc.” We would go a long time looking for someone, anyone who would answer who David states it in the above verses. God stated the following about David:
But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought out a man after his own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.”
Acts 13:22 (ESV)
And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
God is looking for people who will seek Him and desire His face. When He created Adam and placed him in the garden, God was looking for fellowship, through Adam’s worship. By sending His Son, God restored the avenue to that worship. Jesus told us, as well, to seek God’s face. Our hearts desire and hearts focus should be on seeking God and His Kingdom:
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
