I like eyes.
It is a key attribute that drew me to my wife’s beauty. She has these beautiful green eyes that
I enjoy looking into, they are calming & nourishing with just their gaze. When both my sons were born I couldn’t
wait to look into their eyes and look intently at their face. Each time I was instantly I was mesmerized at looking at "MY SON!"
We can often, by looking at someone’s face, tell a lot
about their attitude, feelings, emotions, joys and we have the ability to “read
them”. Spouses, parents, teachers
& FBI agents can get really good at this.
In the Hebrew language the word for “presence” is the same
word as “face”. The Psalmist David in
this Psalm 16:7-11 is writing about what it means to enjoy the presence of the
Lord. He is enjoying the Lord’s
presence because he’s given instruction (7), he is in a secure place as the
Lord guards him (8), his heart is jumping for joy because of what God is doing
(9), God will hold him tight & not let him die eternally (10) & there
is a lifetime of guidance given (11).
Verse 11 is great cause of the intimate stirring that is
being done in David’s life. Out of
all that God is doing the Psalmist is writing about this line “in your presence (face) there is fullness
& joy”.
When was the last
time you had the thought of when you seek the Lord you actually are looking
into his face? What a mind-shift
in our time with Him. We aren’t
just hanging out, but we are able to stare into His face & rest in knowing
that we’ve just seen & can experience fullness because He is leading us
through life.
Today stare into God’s face & let Him speak into your
Soul all the fullness of life He has for you!
