Seek God's Faces

"You have said, 'Seek My face.' My heart says to you, 'Your face, LORD, do I seek." Psalm 27:8


My Bible has two footnotes for this verse. The first note is for the first "seek," and it says, "The command ("seek") is addressed to more than one person. The second note is for the entire verse, and it says, "The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain."

From what we see in the verse and the footnotes, we can take the obvious context: God telling all of us to seek His face.

But there is more to it.

This verse is telling us to seek God's face, but God is more then just one. He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The command is addressed to more then one person, because we need to seek the face of more then one person. This verse is telling each of us to seek the face of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

It's not enough to zero in on just one Person of the Trinity forever. You will learn a lot, but you will never really know Him.  However, when you seek all of God, you will come to know Him as never before. You will see His faces.
