Seeking God Those who do what is right will see his face. (Psalm 11:7) The deepest desire of every soul that has ever lived is to see God. Every man and woman who has ever walked the planet has shared this one longing. Every heart has craved to connect with the Creator. We all long to draw near to something higher than ourselves. To stand in the presence of the Deity. To embrace the one who shaped the universe. Most people never understand this desire. They know they yearn for something, yet never quite know what it is. They feel the emptiness clawing at them from the core of their consciousness, yet they don’t know how to feed it. The restlessness stirs within them. The hollowness of life eats at them, beckoning them toward something grand and significant. Something that matters. Something or someone who can explain the void deep inside their soul. “O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you,” writes David. “My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you” (Psalm 63:1). David felt his soul yearning, and he knew that it was for God. He understood the longing of his heart. And because of it, he sought after God with everything he had. More than anything in life he wanted to see God. And this great desire became his greatest strength. Can you say with David that you “earnestly search” for God? Does your soul literally thirst for him? Can you feel your body longing for God? Do you seek to see his face with every fiber of your being? If so then you, too, will find that this great desire will become your greatest strength. “Those who do what is right will see his face,” says David (Psalm 11:7). In his deep longing for God, David learned the secret to finding him. He understood what it was that made God want to reveal himself to us. The kind of person that God would allow to see his face. It is those who do what is right in his eyes. Those who listen for his voice and obey. If you truly want to see God, you will obey God. And he will reveal himself to you.
Today’s Reading Psalm 11:7; 64:1-5; John 14:21 Reflection How earnestly do you seek to see God’s face? Are you living the kind of obedient life that he wants? In what ways can you live with greater obedience?

The best-selling Left Behind series has captured the attention of millions of readers, and it has changed lives. It has brought millions of believers the motivation to examine their hearts. Are you ready to embrace eternity? Live each moment as if it could be your last? Your future is more important than your past. Where you are going matters more than where you have been. What you do from this day forward means much more than what you have already done. You may be affected by your past, but you are not defined by it. Not in the eyes of God. What does it mean to embrace eternity? It means grasping each breath as if it could be your last, living life moment by precious moment with your feet planted firmly on earth but your heart aimed squarely at heaven. It means learning to embrace the role of dual citizenship—living in one world while belonging to another. It is a lifestyle of living like there’s no tomorrow and then dying so that your real life can finally begin! This 365-day devotional explores the themes introduced in the Left Behind series—themes of salvation, grace, obedience, and faith. New believers as well as mature believers will find a message of faith that will inspire and motivate daily.
