Face to Face

The Bible is filled with amazing facts and lessons from history.  Few passages tell more about a person than Deuteronomy 34:10.  “Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.”

Unfortunately, our culture today has become infatuated with entertainment, causing people to lose their ability to concentrate, including looking someone in the eyes, face to face.  Instead, people are distracted by texting, talking on their cell phone cell or listening to their I-pods.  The consequence of these distractions have resulted in a lack intimacy, with eyes turned down toward the pavement, not face to face.

One thing I have learned in my 28 years as a Christian, there isn’t a substitute for God.  If you stop spending time reading, studying and meditating upon God’s word, it won’t be long until your mind turns from God to yourself.  The same can be said about prayer and worship, as you enter into God’s presence, a close bond, a special connection draws you toward the Lord.  When you experience an Acts 13:2-3 moment, you will begin to know what it feels like to be face to face with God.
