One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek . That I may dwell in the house of the Lord ( in His presence) all the days of my life. To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple. Psalm 27:4
Life point: Seek the “One Thing “
If you could ask for only one thing, what would it be?
David said there was only one thing that he sought after .. to dwell in God’s presence. More than anything else, David wanted to know God , to see God as He really is and to be with Him. Truly, to know God is the highest calling we have.
Unfortunately we can get so distracted with the busy details of our lives that we neglect the most important thing which is spending time with God.
Luke 10:38-42. illustrates this point well as it relates the story of busy Martha . When Jesus visited her home, she became preoccupied with serving, but her sister Mary stopped all work and sat at His feet. Jesus told Martha only one thing was really important and Mary had chosen it.
Mary had decided she was not going to miss the opportunity to visit with the Master. I suppose Martha intended to work Jesus into her schedule somewhere as many of us do , but Mary was willing to stop what she was doing and work her schedule around Him.
How foolish we are to spend our lives seeking those things that cannot satisfy us, while we ignore God, the “ONE THING”Who can give us great joy, peace, satisfaction, contentment , everything.
The world is filled with empty people who are trying to satisfy the void in their lives with the latest material things, a promotion at work, a human relationship, a vacation or some other thing.
Their efforts to find fulfillment in those things never work. It is sad that so many people waste their entire lives and never realize it. They never know the joy of seeking “ ONE THING “ they really need.
Each one of us has a God shaped hole inside of us, and nothing can fill it except God Himself. No matter what else we try to fill it with, we will remain empty and frustrated.
If God is on your list of things to seek, but not at the top , I encourage you to move everything around and put it all after Him. If you will put Him first in everything you do, you will be blessed. Investing your life in God is the very best thing you can do.
Prayers : From today I covenant to invest my life in Jesus my Lord . Fill Your void in me in Jesus Christ name Amen.
