Dare We Look?

by PamFord Davis  
9/10/2024 / Devotionals

I form mental pictures.

We had never met; conversations on the phone led to a blind date. That date was first of many before Norm and I were married. I wonder what mental picture he had formed before seeing me face-to-face. I don’t recall what I expected but couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised.

Norm showed up at my door; slender and of medium height. Sparkling blue eyes, a beautiful smile and dark hair caught my eye. The picture came complete with white shirt, dark suit and tie. Believe it or not; he looked like a young Robert Kennedy Sr.

Many of my readers have never met me. Are you forming a mental picture?

My husband and I listen to a good deal of conservative talk radio while riding in the car. I stay confused when hearing two commentators hosting one of our favorite programs. The two men sound so much alike that I can’t put a name with the speaker; to say nothing of a face.

Elijah heard the voice of God; yet, he didn’t look upon His face.

“And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah (1 Kings 19:12-13 ESV)?”

Dare we look into the face of God?

“But,’ he said, ‘you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live (Exodus 33:20 ESV).”
