David
said in Psalm 27:4, "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." What are we seeking today? What are we looking for?
Matthew 7:7, “...seek, and ye shall find...” David wasn't talking
about staying in the temple everyday but he was talking about
dwelling in His presence “all the days.” Psalm 27:5 says, “For
in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the
secret of His tabernacle shall he hide me; He shall set me up upon a
rock." We find divine refuge in Psalm 31:20, and a hiding
place...a place of safety, yes in the time of trouble. He goes on to
Psalm 27:8, “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto
thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.” So, many times we seek His
hand, which is his provision, but He told David, “seek my
face,”...His person.....who He is. When we truly seek Him, we live
in His house, His pavilion, His tabernacle, His presence. When we
dwell there we are set upon a rock...a firm foundation. The very best
thing we can seek is the face of the Lord. Oh! to know Him...to
really know Him...to cherish him like we cherish nothing else.
In
a very personal way, when you love someone you want to share life
with them. You don't just visit them on Sunday. They become part of
your everyday life. The Lord doesn't want us out on the porch. He
wants us to come on in and dwell (live) with Him!
