My Fast Day part 1

I promised you some input, I will begin with the Scripture the Lord gave me on Tuesday.

Ps. 27:8 When Thou saidst, 'Seek My Face', my heard said, ' Thy face will I seek.'


Seek -1245 from the Hebrew word baqash: to search out
(by any method, specifically in Worship and Prayer.) to strive after, ask, beg, beseech, desire, enquire, get, make inquisition, procure, (make) request, require, seek (for)

Face 6440 Hebrew from the word pânı̂ym: the face (as the part that turns) accept before time, because of, beseech, countenance, endure, enquire, face, favor, fear of, forefront, heaviness, honourable, mouth, of old time, Presence, was purposed, by reason, shewbread, sight, state, street, throughout, upside down.

Can't live with out You Lord! Will search you out by all methods but especially prayer and worship.

Next He gave scripture that focuses on His Goodness:

1Ch 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
1Ch 16:9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
1Ch 16:10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
1Ch 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
1Ch 16:12 Remember his marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
1Ch 16:13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
1Ch 16:14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
1Ch 16:15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
1Ch 16:16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
1Ch 16:17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
1Ch 16:18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
1Ch 16:19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
1Ch 16:20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
1Ch 16:21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
1Ch 16:22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
1Ch 16:23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.
1Ch 16:24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations.
1Ch 16:25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
1Ch 16:26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
1Ch 16:27 Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
1Ch 16:28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
1Ch 16:29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
1Ch 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
1Ch 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
1Ch 16:32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
1Ch 16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
1Ch 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth forever.
1Ch 16:35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
1Ch 16:36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel forever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

When we have relationship, then this next thing becomes a natural progression:

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (Same 2 words as found in Ps. 27 for seek and face.)

I love this scripture in the Jerusalem Bible:
Psalm 46:10 Jerusalem Bible: Pause a while and know that I Am God, exalted among the nations, exalted over the earth.

I will leave you with these to ponder and then I'll come back
and fill you in... Shalom!
