- God Our Father Will Make His Face Shine...Upon You
“The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;”
Numbers 6:25 NKJV
The Scriptures are full of expressions and illustrations that point to God Our Father Being Not Only A Completely Divine Being, But Also A Person. This is something that might be easy to forget, after all He Is The Creator Of All Things. His Word Speaks About His Face, Hands, Heart, Eyes, Among Other Parts Of The Body. If we observed Our Mighty God's Face I believe we could see His Expressions and They Would Quickly Tell Us His Judgements, Thoughts, and would be connotative of His Emotions.
Our Father Desires A Relationship With Us. A relationship that involves fellowship, communion, and an exchange of intimacy. Just look at Yeshua, Jesus Christ His Son and all the time spent in solitude with God Our Father or Moses and the intimate relationship he had with Our Father. Think about it: Why did God Go To Such Lengths Pursuing Us and Sending His Only Son? He was opening THE WAY for us to have intimacy with Him! Our Father wants a two-way relationship with us. His Instructions, Commands, and Precepts Are Perfect and Yeshua, Jesus Christ not only made these things clear for us, but also clarified all the confusion the corrupt pharisees had caused with them. God Almighty Gave Us THE WAY to sustain and foster an intimate and loving relationship with Him.
Many places in The Bible, God's Word, we are encouraged to "Seek The Face" of God Our Father. Just take a look at the first and greatest commandment in Deuteronomy 6 and confirmed by Yeshua in Mark 12 :
““Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 NKJV
“Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is One. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.”
Mark 12:29-30 NKJV
So we see from the very first commandment Our Heavenly Father is telling us He Desires to have a relationship, communion, and intimacy with His Children.
Today as we go about our day, may we all accept and embrace the fact that The One True God, Our Heavenly Father, and The Almighty Creator of All Things wants us, Loves us, and desires to spend time with us! That is AMAZING! May we all turn to Him, obey, and choose Him so that He Makes "His Face Shine Upon You."
God Bless Everyone and have a wonderful God-Filled Day!
The Word of God, The Word of Truth, and A Blessing For You:
““The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His Face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His Countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’”
Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV
“When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.” Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.”
Psalms 27:8-10 NKJV
“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!”
Psalms 27:13-14 NKJV
