That Gaze

In Psalm 139 David invites the Lord to search him and see if there’s anything going on that shouldn't be. The word search has the meaning of to penetrate. That penetrating gaze of the Lord that uncovers all motives, attitudes, positions, excuses, stances and actions. That gaze fixes things pretty quick. The hills melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, all those mountains that we build internally that looked so tall and solid melt away to nothing. I wrote a song a while ago that goes “mind will and emotions under His gaze, I’m undone in the very best of ways”.

Challenge time, find some alone time with The Lord and invite Him to penetrate your world with His gaze afresh, I double dare ya. It hurts so good.
