Psalm 27:4 One Thing Have I Desired of the LORD

Psalm 27:4 (KJV)  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 inquire in his temple. 

There is one thing that brings complete restfulness to a man’s soul. That is when he is abiding in the LORD. This the psalmist tells us is his one sole desire. That he confess that he seek after, to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of his life.

Let this also be our desire and our seeking. It is here with the LORD that there is overwhelming peace and joy. The word “beauty” means “kindness, pleasantness, delightfulness.” It encompasses who the LORD is and His attributes.

It is there with the LORD dwelling with Him through prayer and the Word that we receive wisdom and guidance for life. What blessedness!

May we appropriate Him constantly and consistently. Amen.
