What Do You Seek?

"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. For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high, above my enemies who surround me. At his Tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the LORD with music. Listen to my pleading, O LORD. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "LORD, I am coming." -- Psalm 27:4-8

Oftentimes we go seeking .... we seek for a miracle, a gift, provision, guidance. You name it. David sought after one thing, to live in the house of the Lord all the days of his life, delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. Everything we need is in the house of the Lord. When we seek after Him and only Him I believe everything we need will be provided.

If a 16 year old son wanted a car that his dad could provide, he would not go out seeking after the car. He would seek after his dad! This is a great word picture of how we are to seek after our Father ... for He alone is our healer, provider, protector, and deliverer.
