One Thing
One Thing
“One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.” Psalm 27:4
Christ calls you to be a person of one thing.
David had a heart for one thing— the manifest presence of Christ. He was not simply a God-seeker, he was a one-thing-from-God seeker. David was a seeker of the Presence, and he expressed his seeking in three ways.
To dwell in the house of prayer all his days.
To gaze on the beauty of the Lord.
To inquiry, or to seek, him.
The same God who gave David a one-thing seeking heart, wants to give you a one-thing seeking heart today.
Father God, I humble myself and seek your face. Today I surrender my heart, my ambitions, my prayer list, my bucket list to you. I bow every lesser thing to your presence, and I receive from you now the gift of having a one-thing seeking heart.
