I do apologize. Yesterday I promised a second post, and I just had such a busy day that I never got around to it. Well before I forget, I'll post my God stuff.
Basically, not many came through on the seeking God's face question. Which has baffled my mind since so many people use the phrase. That's your deal.
So I went to the person who had first instigate the interest of what that phrase meant in my mind. Here is the answer I got from him. Please understand that I have not yet fully contemplated my opinion on the matter.
He told me that seeking God's face is not participating in the things that don't give glory to God and focus on activities that do. This could include not playing poker with your friends, or not seeing a movie that doesn't glorify God regardless of the rating. At first, that stressed out my selfish happy self, but in further review, we have to understand that things do not have to be ABOUT God to glorify Him. I will let you know that although I have not seen the movie FIGHT CLUB, I have heard that is very spiritually metaphorical. If you have seen it, maybe you understand.
So if seeking God's face is pursuing the good and perfect... these are the types of questions I am considering. The argument of God's face begins with a literal or figurative meaning. Most people would say that you literally can't see God's face, so it must be figurative. But let me ask... Could a true reflection of God's face be seen in anything that is good and perfect? Literally? That is what I wonder. And what does that even mean.
Mmmm... maybe scratch that idea.
Honestly, that explanation of seeking God's face has left me unsatisfied. There's something else to that phrase that I just dont know yet. There is truth in it, I know that... But what is it?
If you have anything to add, please do.
