[S] Hosea 5:15 --
15 I will go away and return to My place
Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.
[O] God awaits our confession of our status and seek Him earnestly as if a drowning person grasping for the lifeline. Until that happens we have no choice but to wander and fall away from His presence, not because we actively choose to but because we fall into the whirlwind of the world void of God's presence which will sweep us far away from God. During this time, we may feel like God is hiding away from us but as stated in this passage, He will return to His place and wait until we recognize of our guilt and begin to seek His face earnestly.
[A] I can get so used to living out a Christian life, I can easily fall into the mode of thinking I'm doing good enough. I need to not excuse myself from seeking His face earnestly every day and that involves taking a breaking during the busyness of the workplace to lift up a prayer to God to seek His face.
[P] Dear Father, thank You for giving me the ticket to meeting You face to face -- my earnest prayer. May I not take this for granted but use it often throughout the day? Please let Your Spirit remind me and may my heart respond to the reminders. In Jesus' name. Amen.
