Seeking God's face

Isaiah 30:16-17
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
" In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not, and you said, :No, for we will flee on horses" - Therefore you shall flee! And, " We will ride on swift horses" - Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift! One thousand shall flee at the threat of one, at the threat of five you shall flee, till you are left as a pole on top of a mountain and as a banner on a hill.

Many a times we read in the book of proverbs of how we should be diligent and work hard and do well in life.... however... we must always remember that we should stay in the realm of what God want us to do... working hard is important but we must always differentiate between good works and dead works... Ephesians states we are created in Christ Jesus for good works... there are good works that God wants us to focus in and do them excellently with diligence... there are also dead works which God has not want us to be involve in...... in the above passage we saw a situation that God wanted His people to wait on Him and not be too much in a hurry to ride on their swift horses... which means dun juz do dead works or works that God has not directed.... the best measuring guide is to follow the peace of God in whatever we do... in the good works that God create us to do.. we should do them diligently and excellently... but the dead works that God has not directed or give peace about we should avoid them....

Isaiah 30:18
Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.

Psalm 27:8
When You said, "Seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek."

Psalm 32:8-9
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you.
