"One thing have I
desired of the LORD,
that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of
the LORD
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the LORD,
and to inquire in his temple."
Psalm 27:4
The Right Choice
David was
pretty sure of himself!
He could
specify just one desire, and to him it was
everything.
All he
wanted was to "dwell in the house of the Lord"
all the days
of his life.
Perhaps it
was easier for him to isolate his big desire.
He was
alone, driven out by his enemies, under
attack.
The prospect
of a peaceful return to the Lord's house
and the
opportunity to behold the beauty of the Lord
and to
inquire in His temple ~
this could
be a fairly easy choice!
But . . . we
have so many desires,
and
sometimes find it hard to choose.
We love
God's house . . .
but we love
our homes too.
We desire to
behold His beauty . . .
but we
cherish the beauty of our family too.
We long to
inquire about Him . . .
but there
are so many daily things to look into.
We all need
God's help in satisfying our desires.
Won't you
join me in asking Him today:
Heavenly
Father,
Will You
help me satisfy my desires by fulfilling them
all in
Yourself?
May I love
my house because I love Yours.
May I
cherish the beauty of my life because
You are the
fairest in my life.
May I search
for substance in my daily routine
because You
are the final meaning to all of life.
O Father, I
believe I may,
for You have
given me Christ to satisfy every desire,
both Yours
and mine.
In Jesus'
Name I pray,
Amen.
"And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist."
