“Dwell In God’s House”

Thursday, December 12, 2024

Key Verse

“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, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple” (Psalm 27:4).TEXT — Psalm 27:1-6

Message

Desires are usually revealed in how a person talks and strongly reflects his values and where he stands. An overtly ambitious person who dreams only of success and achievements will only be heard expressing his thoughts and desires at every opportunity. Our words indeed reveal who we are and what we consider important.

Though David was a king with royal privileges, he did not allow all that to obscure his vision of the heavenly glories and treasures. He understood that man’s sojourn here on earth is only temporary and whatever he may possess would not last forever. He desired to have a permanent dwelling in the house of the Lord. This explains why he chose to make the Lord his salvation. It is also the reason he would not fret in the face of the threats and conspiracies of his enemies. Whatever stands or falls, his faith and confidence in God will remain unshaken.

Christians must seek a more permanent relationship with God, like King David. Those who hold the things of this world so close to their hearts will lose sight of the glories of heaven and will not see the need to dwell permanently in the Lord’s house. They build their faith and trust around materialism; hence, they easily collapse when the storms and trials of life arise.

The mighty fortresses man has put up over the ages have been unable to shield him from danger. There is no permanently secure place like the house of the Lord. Believers should centre their desires here. Those who dwell in God’s house are forever secured. No fear will impede their progress or shackle their feet. God’s house grant eternal safety.

Thought for the day

Those who hope to dwell with God in heaven must learn to abide with Him on earth
