Psalm 27:4-5
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.
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.
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.
O Mighty King of Heaven,
There is one thing I
ask: that I may live in Your holy house all the days of my life and gaze
upon Your beauty. I will seek You in the temple of my heart. In Your
glorious presence, I will be safe from trials, tragedy and trouble. Your
power and promises will divinely protect me. Securely positioned in
Your presence, I will offer You a sacrifice of praise.
When I look for
You at the throne of grace, I will find You. Gazing into the warmth of
Your fiery eyes, I can expect You to mercifully hear my voice and gently
answer me. You are tenderhearted. When my earthly friends and family
cannot comfort me, You will coddle me in Your strong arms. It's Your
divine guidance I'm desperately seeking. With my Bible wide open, my
eyes will be fixed on You. Reveling in Your goodness and generosity, I
won't be crushed by my circumstances. In the splendor of Your holiness
I'll be still and wait with a calm and quiet heart while You work out
the details for Your glory.
Living happily ever
after with You is my only hope, peace and joy in this sad, sad world.
You keep me from fainting under pain and pressure. O Lover of My Soul, I
want nothing more than to live in uninterrupted intimacy with You all
the days of my life. You are my Strong Man, and I simply want to stay in
Your blessing where You will lift me up and be magnified. Lord, please
show me what I must do to attain this desire of my heart. Amen.
If
you are facing trial, tragedy or trouble, seek Him. To seek is an
action that means to search for, strive for, ask for, or head for
something. Open Your Bible and begin looking for Him. Ask Him to reveal
Himself to you. He is unchanging. He was the same yesterday as He is
today. He will be there in all His glory if you take the time to search
for Him. When You find Him, gaze upon His beautiful character. Write
down His noticeable attributes so that you won't forget them in the
midst of your crushing circumstances. In His presence You will be
blessed with hope, peace and joy.
