May's Thought: A Good Desire

What do you desire? A house, a car, a husband, a wife, riches, fame or all of the above and then some? David said in Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I might dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. In this passage of scripture, David had his mind made up and settles as to what he wanted and desired. He desired one thing of the Lord. He just did get what he wanted because he desired it (you know that "name it, claim it" religion), as some preachers teach. He had to seek after it. How did he seek after it? He had to obey, trust, fast, pray, adn be about his Father's business. He had to go through his test and trials victoriously. David had to have a burning desire to accomplish what he wanted, which is essential to success or winning. His burning desire caused him to seek after his request. He knew what his main goal was. He wanted to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. He knew that if he could dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life, God would grant his request and add other things. He wanted to behold the beauty of the Lord and enquire in his temple.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

What is your desire? May I give you a little advice? Do as David did above, and reap the benefits.

Psalm 91:14-16 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

May God bless you!
