PSALM 17:15
Scientists say a baby’s sight is the last sense to develop. Well, even before they can focus, they look toward faces – to read them.
Across the first year of life, infants continue to focus their attention to faces. This increased attention allows them to begin to learn the subtle information that faces have to offer. They learn to follow gaze signs, recognize identities and emotions, and learn language. They also learn the characteristics of people they see and interact with the most.
As adults, we continue to watch faces. We subconsciously observe how people respond. We can tell if they are pleased, amused, delighted, or displeased. We see it in their faces.
Maybe we are created that way so we will properly relate to God.
David was satisfied with God’s face, and repeatedly talked about it. Who knows if that was why he was a man after God’s heart. As a good face reader, he got his signals from God rather than from those around him.
