So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend... Exodus 33:11 (NKJV)
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 (NKJV)
I need to see you face to face to hear you. I have a 50% hearing loss in both ears. My mom has a hearing loss, too; she lost all her hearing after I was grown up. Her mom and grandma also had hearing losses. It’s a family thing, we can’t hear. But thankfully I have a really good hearing aid doctor who outfitted me with a hearing aid, so I can still catch most conversations. However, if you turn out the lights or cover your face, I can’t hear you. Though I don’t think I read lips, I seem to read faces to hear what people are saying.
It’s like that with Jesus, too. I need to see His face to hear what He is saying each morning. I imagine Him sitting right on the sofa beside me, giving me His full attention. I look deep into His Word and study each verse, pondering what He is telling me. He turns the light on the scriptures and explains http://buylevitra.net truths to me, bit by bit.
As we sit face to face, I thank Jesus for His many blessings, and tell Him how awesome He is. Jesus covers my sins, while uncovering God’s Word so I can understand it. He gives me my call for the day and I claim His promise to see me through all the ups and downs. Finally, I pour out my heart to Jesus, giving Him all my worries and petitions, all the dear people on my heart. The Lord hears my cries and comforts me as we sit face to face on my sofa sipping TEA.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Genesis 32:30 (NKJV)
Today’s TEA CUPP: Invite Jesus to TEA with you and sit face to face. As you read your Bible, hear His Word as a real conversation with the King of kings. You are His precious daughter and He longs to chat with you.
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened... Psalm 40:6 (NKJV)
