When my grandchildren, Sarah and Tucker, were about 5 and 7 years old, they visited us with their parents. We hadn't seen them in awhile. Our house was unfamiliar to them as we had moved recently. I noticed their interactions with their parents and was very touched. Whenever they would do anything--something for which they sought approval or something they thought might elicit correction--they would look up from what they were doing and without even speaking would search out their parents' faces for approval or direction. It was a sweet connection of complete trust and a desire to please everytime they sought eye contact with their mom or dad.
It occurred to me that this is the kind of connection God is hoping for with us when he asks us to seek his face.
Psalm 105:4
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.
