SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 27:4 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 temple.
OBSERVATION: David had a “one thing.” In this verse he states his priority. He is going to spend time with the LORD and get to know Him.
Jesus gave us a “one thing” when asked which was the greatest commandment. He said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.”
Surely someone loving Jesus like that will stand out. They will be noticeable by the things they say and the things they do.
APPLICATION: If my friends were asked to put into words the “one thing” of my life, what would they say? Have they been able to see what I claim to be the “one thing” in my life?
In Matthew 22, Jesus was asked which is the greatest commandment? Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
Why that one? Because that is the one God loves best!!! That is the way HE wants to be loved. That is the way HE deserves to be loved!
PRAYER: Lord, may people see that it is my joy, not just my duty to serve You. It is indeed my privilege to serve you as a husband, father, Navy corpsman, pastor, chaplain, bus driver, etc. Amen.
