"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his holy temple." (v.4)
Borrowing a little from a devotional I read today. This verse just really stood out to me.
This verse convicts me here...David says that he desires only one thing. To dwell with the Lord all His days. I don't know if I can say that. Some days I think I can, then other days...well, life gets BIG to me...and I have tons of requests of the Lord. Now this verse isn't saying we shouldn't make requests, that's not the point of this verse. The point is to illustrate, that David's one real true desire is to dwell with the Lord...that that is enough for Him. If God doesn't provide anything else...dwelling with Him is enough and it is the one thing that is needed. Reminds me of the story of Mary and Martha, when Jesus says, "Mary has chosen the one needed thing."
So, the question that I hear in this verse is, "Do I truly believe God is all I need?"
