One Thing Only

I’m asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with him in his house my whole life long. I’ll contemplate his beauty; I’ll study at his feet.
Psalm 27:4 MSG

This verse sounds very much like a man or woman smitten and in love, and it is. However, David is smitten with the Lord. He has endured a life of conflict and he would remember his youth in the fields watching the sheep in peace, apart from an occasional lion and bear. (Ha ha!)

Jesus told Martha only one thing was necessary, that she, Martha was anxious and troubled over many things but her sister had chosen the right 'one'thing..to sit at His feet.

So..are you troubled over many things and in need of the 'one' thing? The 'one' thing is not fame, prestige or position but humbly sitting at Jesus' feet and trusting Him to teach you. This does not mean you become a monk but rather seek Hi. First and live out of humility. Amen!
