Psalm 27

As I was sitting in church tonight waiting for Facing the Giants to start, I started flipping through the Psalms. I was looking for one that spoke about trusting God. I scanned a few of them and then my eyes fell to Psalm 27. It spoke so much to where I am right now. It's 14 verses, but I'm going to try to memorize it. Something that I know God wants from me is to memorize Scripture. I have like the best memory in the world, but I have never really used it to honor Him, so I want to. It's weird..before church I started memorizing the first verse and then all throughout the movie it just stayed in my head. I guess that's what happens when you really meditate on God's Word. It stays with you. Anyway, I digress. :)

Ok so I was sitting there reading this part (v. 8) "When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, Oh Lord, I shall seek." Right then (Blu was playing some background music) the song lyrics said "I close my eyes, and I see Your face..." It was weird. It was like God was telling me that in the midst of everything else that is going on in my life, He wants me to seek His face. No, actually not in the MIDST of everything else. BEFORE everything else. That's ALL He wants me to do, is seek His face.

As for the Samuel situation, the last verse really spoke to me "Wait for the Lord. Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."

God, please help me to seek Your face every second of the day. Help me to be able to wait for You.
