What Do You Desire From God
As we all struggle with daily sin in our lives we are prone to feel guilty for all our wrongdoing. We even wonder why in the world God puts up with sinners like ourselves.
The answer is that he loves us and wants a forever relationship with us. And because He loves unlovable sinners like us it puts His “amazing grace” on display. We are not perfect and God just keeps pursuing us. Aren’t you glad He does? Given what God does for us shouldn’t we keep on pursuing Him?
One of my Janice’s favorite scriptures was Psalm 27. David asks a very interesting question in v. 4, “One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek after...” How would you finish this question? If you had to boil your desire from God down to one thing what would it be? David's answer was “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 meditate in His temple.” (v.4) How would that be as a place to spend your quiet time?
