Psalm 27:8 When you said, Seek you my face; my heart said to you, Your face, LORD, will I seek. I. GOD'S CALL. "Seek ye My face." 1. It teaches that peace with God is not a human device, but a Divine revelation. "Thou saidst." True religion originates with God. 2. Indicates what religion is. "Seek ye My face," — not My Church, or Book, or ministers, but Me. 3. It implies estrangement. "Seek." 4. That estrangement may cease. II. MAN'S REPLY. "Thy face, Lord, will I seek." 1. Personal. "I." 2. Prompt. "When Thou saidst." 3. Emphatic. "Thy face, Lord, will I seek." 4. Thorough. Reply, almost an echo of call. David practically said, "I mean just what God means." 5. It came from right place. "My heart said." Lips lie, heart never. (T. Kelly.)
