| Dear Young Christian: |
| “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life” (Psalm 27:4). |
| This desire of David sums up what should be the desire of every true believer in Christ. David wanted to go through life with the conscious sense of the Lord’s presence with him every day of his life. He knew that he would “dwell in the house of the Lord for ever” (Psalm 23:6), but he didn’t want to wait until that time to enjoy the Lord’s company. No, he wanted it all during his life time. This was paramount with David — it seems to me that it was the “one thing” that he desired and sought above all else. |
| As you start out on another busy week, be exercised to go forth with the realization that there is One who is with you and has promised, “I will never leave thee” (Hebrews 13:5). Be aware of His presence, talk to Him as you would a friend, and listen as He speaks to you through His Word, the Bible, and the circumstances He brings your way. |
