As I pray, Lord, let me see
Visions of Your face.
Reveal Your person unto me
And fill that empty space.
Let me see You as the Light
That shines every day.
Guide me as I walk with You
And help me find my way.
Let me see You as the Wind
That blows through the trees.
Show me Your mighty power
That brings me to my knees.
Let me see You as the Fire
That warms and refines.
May it purify my soul
And show Your love divine.
Let me see You as the Rain
That falls on land and sea,
Bringing heaven’s rainbow,
Your promised majesty.
Let me see You as the Storm
That comes when skies are gray.
Comfort and encourage me,
And in Your arms, I’ll stay.
Let me see You as the Star
That shoots across the sky,
Reminding me of Jesus
And the searching Magi.
As I look upon the dawn
And have the earth in view,
I see Your face in everything;
Each one the image of You.
Ruth Billingsley
So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying,
“It is because I saw God face to face,
and yet my life was spared.”
Genesis 32:30
We have had a lot of rain this week. Our average for the year to date is 35 inches and we have 54 inches. We have had 9 inches so far this month. God controls, not only the rain, but everything we experience. Every event is in His hands. Do we see Him every day? Nature reflects God and we see Him through all we experience. Our trip to Durango, Colorado showed His majesty in the mountains, the turning leaves, the river, and the kind people we met along the way.
“Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?” Job 12:9-10
