One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: 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 seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
In one way or another, I've been praying this prayer ever since I was saved 16 years ago. But to make dwelling in the house of the Lord my one and utmost desire has been such a learning process. And I know it is going to go on until the day the Lord takes me home.
Is God really first in my life this day? Am I really seeking after God's heart? We have agreed that as long as each one of us is seeking and walking with the Lord, he will take care of all things for us, including our relationship. But that requires us to be truly honest before God and be willing to have him change us on a daily basis. Sacrificing ourselves to God with joy. Truly repenting of any sins that he points out in our lives. We can potentially fool each other. Maybe even fool ourselves. But we can never fool God.
Let us make seeking God the utmost desire of our hearts this day:)
