Message from Scripture: 7/26/2021

 

Our message from Scripture today comes from Psa. 27:4; “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.”

 

David reveals an important truth to us when it comes to having God’s blessings for our lives. What we ask of God should be that which we seek from Him as well. David certainly desired to have a close relationship with God. However, he knew his part in this was to make it his goal, to pursue after it. The word seek literally means something required, so, to seek, to devote oneself to obtain. That which is important to us, which we sincerely desire, which we want God to provide for us, should also be that which we pursue ourselves. David reveals the secret of a deep and intimate relationship with God, where God fills us with His richest blessings. If we humble ourselves before God, and seek those things God commends to us, we find what we really need for life.

 

What should we ask of the Lord, and to seek with all that is in us? A relationship with Him that will last for eternity. If we never forget that this is what we were created for, what we are to live for, then what a difference it makes on both our motives and lifestyle. There is beauty in our Lord, seen in His love for us, His help to us, His future for us in heaven, which is prepared for us.

 

May we seek the spiritual to find all that is best for us today. May we serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, knowing if we genuinely seek Him, He will offer us His best. God bless.
