Its as easy as counting!

My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.
Psalm 27:8 (NIV)

When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.
Psalm 27:8 (BBE)

When You said, "Seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek."
Psalm 27:8 (NKJV)


1 verse, 2 main ideas, 3 different translations, 4 you!


obviously the 1, 3, and 4 are easy to understand but you may be saying what are the 2 main ideas.....

the first thing I notice when I read this is the "SEEK MY FACE" now obviously you cant actually physically look GOD or his son in the eyes, and I'm sure he didn't mean go find a picture of me..... what the message is here is spend your time trying to get to know me......read about me...pray with and to me ....talk to others about me....SEEK ME....put some effort into finding out who I am why I was here and what I did for you....sounds all to easy, however, its more that just reading a book or talking with a friend....how do you know your actually on the right path, actually seeking the right person.... well that's the second thing that stands out...

USE YOUR HEART....no where in those three translations did they say...figure me out...research me with your scientific methods, discuss me with your worlds scholars and great minds....no the LORD asks us to use our hearts....

why our hearts? because our minds are so easily misguided and deceived...our heart has no eyes to lead you a stray and no ears to to listen to folly.....our heart is the way GOD speaks to us....with that little voice inside ...the little voice that you have to pay attention to in order to hear...the voice that actually takes effort to obey.....while your eyes and ears dominate your mind and what you should accept ....your heart holds the true story....the world is full of problems.....we know this because we see them...or hear about them every day...but our heart reminds us that there is more.....more to life...more to this universe....more to everything and everyone.... Our eyes can teach us to lust for a person...our ears can teach us to admire a person......but it take our hearts to teach us to LOVE a person.....

in total....you should seek the lord as he asks....but not in traditional methods with research and science but with your heart....because when you find him using your heart.....there will be a bond with him that will not be easily broken...you will have found in him a true and loving relationship....and in my opinion....TRUE LOVE is the bond that can never be broken...

seek him using your heart and find a mutual deep love that nobody can break.....give it a try and test my opinion...what do you have to loose?

Hope this helps someone. Grace and Peace be upon you all.
