One Thing

I have asked one thing from the Lord ; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking Him in His temple.
Psalms 27:4 HCSB

David had a desire to build God a house. I wonder if this Psalm came at this time. It would be something I would do. As it turns out God said: "No! I want your son Solomon to build it." This did not put David off. He started to amass gold, silver and precious stones. He was the greatest donor to the temple that he never saw.

David had a heart after God, except when a woman got in the way. All of David's life, leading up to when he became king David was desperate for God. When David became king he wanted to establish a presence of God in the city and brought back the ark of the covenant. Seeing the ark in a tent would have disturbed him.

We are now the ark. God's Holy Spirit dwells in us. Daily we can spend time in God's presence without leaving the house.
May we hunger for Him as this leads us to see Him in His glory. He is not a dog or cat to be patted on the head. He is the king of glory. What does He want to show us today?
