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).”

And Now, a word from our sponsor  – Treasury of David.

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Treasury of David.

This work was first published in weekly installments over a twenty-year span in the London Metropolitan Tabernacle’s periodical, The Sword and the Trowel.

Completed sections were released volume by volume, until the seventh and final volume was released in 1885. Within a decade more than 120,000 sets had been sold. The Treasury of David is a superb literary achievement. Eric Hayden, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle a century after Spurgeon’s ministry began there, calls this work “Spurgeon’s magnum opus.” Spurgeon’s wife said that if Spurgeon had never written any other work, this would have been a permanent literary memorial.
