A Second Look at the Psalms, The Face of God.
Psalm 32:8 KJV
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
When we look into a person's face, their countenance is expressive of feeling and character.
The face of a clock reveals the time.
The expression of the face and eyes can be more instructive than a hand book.
But, to look into someone's face you have to come face to face with them.
To meet or encounter someone, to face them one to one, and look into their face,
is so much more than being in the same building or the same room.
"face to face" is even more than "presence"
2nd Chronicles 7:14 NKJV
14 If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear them from heaven, and forgive their sin
and heal their land.
