This week we memorize Matthew 5:8-9. What does it mean to “see God”? Let’s find out by doing it.

Matthew-5-8-9

Memorize this week

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:8-9 (ESV)

How Do You See God?

The rewards of a pure heart? To see God.

But what does it mean to see God?

Who is the most important person you have seen in real life? From ancient Biblical times to today, it is a great honor to be called into the presence of an important person and see them face to face.

While we may not see God with our physical eyes, we are called into His presence. One key to seeing Him is to maintain an awareness of His presence.

As believers of God, we are never alone. He is always with us. How often do we remember that?

When our hearts are purely focused on Him, we can see Him in ways that are deeper than physical.

When we open our spiritual eyes to see God, we are in awe of His magnificence and His mercy and His goodness.

Let’s not turn our face away from God this week, but instead turn fully towards Him.

Notice His grace in your own life and pass along that grace to others so they, too, can “see” God through you.
