If the Lord Jesus were to ask you to do something, would you be willing to do it?
Especially if it were to bring you joy forever after?
Here’s what He asks you to do:
We read from Psalm 27:
“When Thou didst say, ‘Seek My face,’ my heart said to Thee, ‘Thy face, O Lord, I shall seek’” (vs. 8).
That’s a simple, direct command: Seek the face of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(a) That “face” is pure joy to see!
(b) But ever since the fall of our father Adam, we have had by nature a mind that is “enmity” against the Lord Jesus Christ, for we read: “The carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Rom. 8:7).
(c) In order for us to “seek the face” of the Lord Jesus Christ, we must turn away from the “face” of the fallen rebel angel, Lucifer, who has become the “prince of this world” (John 12:31).
(d) Give to the Lord Jesus your full attention; “wait” before Him as Psalm 27 says; “wait,” patiently.
(e) There is no word in the ancient Hebrew for “patiently, “ it just repeats the word, “wait, wait, wait.”
(f) Do it, dear friend, today; receive the blessing that the Lord has for you!
