Psalms 27:4. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; -
It is a grand thing to get your heart so focused that it has but one desire, and then to be aroused to the practical pursuit of that one object.
Psalms 27:4. 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 inquire in his temple.
Is it possible for a man to live in God’s house all his days? Oh, yea Good men do not desire impossibilities. "But," say you, "we cannot always be in the church or the meeting-house." No; and even if you were, you might not be in God’s house any the more for that; but to be like a child at home with God wherever you may be, to live in him and with him wherever you are, this is to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of your life. You may begin dwelling in the lower rooms of that house even now; and, by-and-by, he will call to you, and say, "Friend, come up higher," and you will ascend to the upper room where the glorified dwell for ever with their God. It is my one desire always to be-"No more a stranger or a guest, But like a child at home," - at home with my God all the days of my life, that I may behold his unutterable beauty, and that I may inquire in his temple what is his will, and what are the exceeding great and precious promises which he has made to me in his Word.
