Seeking the Face of the Lord

[S] 2 Samuel 21:1 --
During the reign of David, there was a famine for three successive years; so David sought the face of the Lord. The Lord said, "It is on account of Saul and his blood-stained house; it is because he put the Gibeonites to death."

[O] When the land was hit with famine for three successive years, David sought the face of the Lord and He identified the reason.  David's desire to follow God's heart shows again from his course of action.  He was as imperfect as any one of us is, but he always turned to God with his pure heart.

[A] I need to constantly look into my spiritual mirror to make necessary adjustments in my spiritual walk.  I may not be sensitive to the circumstances (such as continual famine) but when I see in the mirror frequently I should be able to identify the areas in need of cleaning up.  I must seek humility in all situations and have my heart right with God at all times.  I have to figure out what is means for me to "seeking the face of the Lord."

[P] Dear Father, how I long to seek Your face and to hear Your voice for my life's situations.  I desire to be in tuned with Your voice and so please allow me the insight to do that in order for me to check in with You frequently to put things in order for me to follow You wholeheartedly.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
