Even when I can hear the 5,000 other people singing at the top of their lungs to our awesome God I don’t notice them. It’s the weirdest thing. I’m packed into an arena, but it’s as if it is just He and I. His attention towards me is so real. I know that He hears my heart, and I know that my heart hears His voice. He is so real! He is so good! His name is so great and FULL of power!
It’s amazing to me how He can know each of us so FULLY! That He can give us His undivided attention at all times. That He can make us feel like the center of His attention. That He can pour out His love on us and draw us so close. So close that we feel like it’s just the two of us.
He’s so captivating. His love is so deep and so real. I’m so thankful for the way He draws me into His presence. Why would I ever want to leave? I want more of Him.
The one thing I ask of the Lord- the thing I seek MOST- is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary, He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music. Hear me as I pray; O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me, O God of my salvation! Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, for my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I’ve never done with every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:5-14
I pray that I will desire to dwell constantly in His house just like David prayed. May it be the one thing that I seek MOST. May I delight in His presence and meditate on Him. I don’t know why He desires me so much. He draws me into Him and gives me His full attention. It amazes me. I am so blessed to be a daughter of the one true King. May His name be praised. May He be the thing I seek most!
