An Intimate Fellowship

I strive to seek God first as it says in Psalm 63:1, “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs for You in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” 

Seeking God’s Face…An Intimate Fellowship

 

Seeking God’s face does not happen over a weekend;

It takes a commitment, day by day,

To make Him your special friend. 

The pursuit can be shallow-rooted

Or absorbed skin-deep where it cannot be looted.

His face can be found in any place you roam

Or just by resting with Him at home.

 

Paul sought God’s face from a prison cell.

He prayed; He witnessed-

From where he dwelled.

 

Jonah rebelled and delayed. 

From an unhappy place,

He sought God’s face from the belly of a whale

Oh, what a story He had to tell!

 

Seeking God’s face cannot be hurried through;

It cannot be just a casual approach.

There is a cost to being made new.

It’s a lifetime ritual-

Not done in a moment or an hour to seek the spiritual.

 

O Lord, for You, my soul must thirst,

And I must seek Your face first;

In my time-in my prime-

Day by day- in every way;

Week by week I seek, year by year, to keep God near.
