Seek Your Face Devotional - Joseph Wood - Bog

A relationship with God is what 'seeking God' is all about-not merely being acquainted with him. We think we know him if we go to church every Sunday, read our Bibles once in a while (or even regularly) and pray. But if that's as deep as it goes then God is nothing more than an acquaintance. When we really and truly seek God-when we get up close and personal with him- we see him through eyes that see his power and his holiness. And what's more, seeing God on such a personal level means we lay ourselves open and acknowledge that he sees us for who we truly are, too. All too often followers of Jesus begin to view the Christian life as a long list of "do's" and "don'ts." They haven't yet discovered that spending time with God is a privilege that we get to do not an obligation that we have to do. Getting started seeking the face of God through this 30 day devotional guide will be one of your most rewarding pursuits. God promises that when we seek Him we will find Him. The "Seek Your Face" journey is designed to be a call of action based upon 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says, "Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land."
