“The one thing I ask of the Lord—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in His Temple” (Psalms 27:4, NLT).
When I was a little girl, one thing I often wanted more than anything else was to be loved. Although I grew up in a “Christian home,” my view of love was often distorted and skewed. My parents and grandparents loved me well. My friends and family, too. But if love was slamming doors, arguments, and heaping piles of verbal and emotional abuse, then I wanted nothing to do with it.
I knew that God’s love was unlike human love. It’s even unlike those who show His love the most or best in this day and age. But as I’ve matured and wrestled with what it means to know and love Jesus Christ personally, I’ve learned that if I want anything in this life, it’s to know and love Him more deeply.
While my husband, family, and friends mean everything to me, without Christ and His love, they mean nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 says it this way: “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing” (NIV).
David had this message down. As the writer of this Psalm, he doesn’t just focus on what God can do for Him, but who God is. He zooms in on the presence of God in our lives and where to find Him.
