Amazing...blows me away...

I was reading through some of the Psalms tonight and I came across this verse that really hit me: Psalm 27:8. It says this:

You have said, "Seek my face." My heart says to you, "Your face, LORD, do I seek."

It's a simple verse, and it almost seems that there is nothing special about...but really read it for a second! Really dive into the implications of what is being said in this verse. God has said to seek his face. And I had to ask myself, "What is my response to that?" Will I seek his face? Will I live my life seeking his face? Or will I live my life seeking things that I shouldn't? But then, GET THIS YOU GUYS! I dove into the translation from the Hebrew of this verse and I found that the command here in this verse, the word "seek," is addressed to more than one person. God isn't commanding just me, or just you, or just David (the author of the Psalms) to seek his face. He is commanding all of us! God has put out a call to everyone and he is telling everyone to seek his face. Now...who will respond to this call...let me ask you, what is your response to this call? Will you seek his face? Will you say to him, "Your face, LORD, do I seek"? Intense stuff man, intense stuff!
