"They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed...Seek peace and pursue it." vv.5,14
Read chapter 34.
Fixing our eyes on the Lord does some amazing things. The Companion Bible suggests that if we look within, we are miserable and if we look around we are distracted, but when we look to the Lord, we become radiant! Where are you looking?
Here when those look to God, they were radiant and not ashamed. "They" could refer to the humble from verse two. I think of Stephen in Acts 6 was said to have the face of an angel while he's facing those that want to kill him proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ. You could tell he sought the Lord and was not ashamed. To seek peace with others is more than just a desire but something you have to go after. We should seek peace first with God and then with man. How can you pursue peace with God and others?
