Today in church, I was privileged to serve in Higher ground and witness the faith of a Child. Something I wish I had never forgotten. Something I so wish that I had. However, God had another reason for me being there, ultimately to bring Him glory. The title of this blog is Psalm 27:4 which says
"One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple"
If you could have ANYTHING in the world what would it be? would it make you happy forever?
David wrote this psalm, and his focus was clearly NOT on anything of this world. I'll admit that when I answered this question with my TRUE heart, it wasn't "that i may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple". Where is your focus. Is your automatic reaction to those questions "Jesus Christ, and living with Him FOREVER?" or is it "t.v, sports, family, food, entertainment, etc." Think about it. Why do we always have to be reminded of the MAGNIFICENT HOLINESS OF GOD? If its SO amazing it should receive our UNDIVIDED WORSHIP! Nothing should hinder our desire to meditate on God's word, and serve HIM. What gets in the way? I can guarentee that at LEAST (and i say at LEAST) 90% of people, if not more, can probably say that facebook, email, or even social lives, get in the way of Christ being the focus. This isn't true of everyone, everyone has their own idols in their lives they need to deal with. Being an undivided worshipper, calls for another thing. your complete attention. not just whenever you feel like it, but ALWAYS and FOREVER. David had it right. - he recognized God's glory and wanted NOTHING more than that. He could have said 'MANY things i ask of you' but instead, he said 'ONE thing'. NOTHING compares to Christ. And david understood that. So ask yourself again
If you could have ANYTHING in the world what would it be? would it make you happy forever?
Answer honestly. then decide what you need to do to change it.
For HIS glory
