Psalms 27:4 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 enquire in his temple. KJV
F. B. MEYER said of David, “One purpose dominated his prayer and life. It was never long absent from the Psalmist’s thought. The men of one idea are irresistible.”
David voiced his ultimate desire in this verse, and it's one we should embrace wholly as children of God. When we humbly bow and approach Him in prayer, our hearts will be so in tune with Him that we might "think" we can feel His touch on our heads, hear the whisper of His voice as He says, "I love you!". O that we might have that eternal blessing on our lives as we continue our journey here on earth. God is so real that sometimes I think I could reach out and touch Him. My heart is bursting in my chest even now as my mind dwells on the perfectness of our Holy God and Father. Where are we going in this land, are we focused on the One who created us and all that is? How can we do more for Him Who has done so so so much for us! O Christian where did you leave Him? Wherever it is GO BACK, bow, beg forgiveness and HE WILL FORGIVE! Was David perfect? No, and neither are we.
I am so thankful for the wonder and love and mercy He bestows on me and mine. We are forever grateful for EVERY person who is a part of our journey. Many pray, some give, and there are no words enough to say how thankful we are. We know that God uses others to help others! Nothing we do is without the guidance of the precious of hand of God. He leads, guides, directs our paths each moment, hour, day, week, month, year . . . it is He that is our provider, and He does it because He loves us and for no other reason!
David sang this so perfectly in this verse and we get to get in on it! Where are you in your worship of God? Check up on yourself. It won't be long, and God will send His Son to go get His bride! Are you ready? Make sure you are!
HE LOVES US!
UPDATE: We are waiting on some paperwork to come through and are trusting that it is God's will that it will happen SOON! PLEASE keep PRAYING WITH US THAT GOD WILL GIVE US A HOME OF OUR OWN SOON. THANK YOU! We looked at an option Friday. We are asking God for wisdom, trusting Him for our every need. 3/1/23 Please continue to pray that God will work out this "Option" to His honor and glory! Trusting God for His every provision! In the name of Jesus, may we be HIS emissaries and used by Him to help others.
HE CARES! Do You Know HIM? Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen. With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
