“Seek ye may face … thy face … thy face”: God’s “face” indicates His personal presence or simply His being (Psalms 24:6; 105:4); and seeking His face is a primary characteristic of true believers who desire fellowship with God (compare Deut. 4:29; 2 Chron. 11:16; 20:4; Psalm 40:16; Jer. 50:4; Hosea 3:5; Zech. 8:22).
We are told in the Scriptures that if we seek Him, we will find Him. This does not mean that all the people in a particular age will seek God, but rather that the ones who seek Him are a generation to themselves.
Deuteronomy 4:29 "But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul."
By prayer and supplication, acknowledging and confessing sin, and desiring that God would be gracious and forgive it. And bring them out of their miserable condition. Even if out of those depths of affliction and distress, and though scattered about in the world, and in the uttermost parts of it.
"Thou shalt find him": To be a God hearing and answering prayer, gracious and merciful, ready to help and deliver.
"If they seek him with all their heart and with all their soul": Sincerely and affectionately.
"If they seek him with all their heart and with all their soul": Sincerely and affectionately.
