What the Lord Asks You to Do

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
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: "When You said, 'Seek My face,' my heart said to You, 'Your face, Lord, I will seek'" (Psalm 27:8).
That's a simple, direct command: Seek the face of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That "face" is pure joy to see! But ever since the fall of our father Adam, we have had by nature a mind that is "enmity" against the Lord, for we read: "The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be" (Rom. 8:7).
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 "ruler of this world" (John 12:31).
Give to the Lord Jesus your full attention; "wait" before Him as Psalm 27 says; "wait," patiently. There is no word in the ancient Hebrew for "patiently," it just repeats the word, "wait, wait."
Do it, dear friend, today; receive the blessing that the Lord has for you!
