GOD EXPRESSED IN MAN
In the Gospel of John we are told that the Lord is the Word of God, that this Word is God Himself (1:1), and that one day He became a man (v. 14). We see the Lord on this earth acting, living, walking, working, and doing things exactly as a man. Although He performed miracles, His life was a human life, His walk a human walk. Sometimes He was hungry, sometimes thirsty. Once He asked a woman for some water to drink (4:7). Sometimes He felt tired (v. 6), and sometimes He even wept (11:35). He was one hundred percent a man! Yet, in this man—in His life, His walk, His work—God was manifested. This is what God still desires today; He desires to be manifested through humanity.

I enjoyed Psalm 80 with this hymn, particularly with verse 4. In three verses, v.3, v.7 and v. 9 it says: "O God, restore us; And cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
O God of hosts, restore us; And cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.
O Jehovah God of hosts, restore us; Cause your face to shine and we will be saved." Let us call on Him and allow ourselves to be shined on by Him to remain in His love and glory!
