David is committed to being where God is—to “behold the beauty of the Lord.” — to worship Him. That‘s a worthy goal for life.
Psalm 27:4 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.
This should be the goal of every believer. If we are going to worship the Lord, we need to do it His way.
Jesus told us how in John 4:24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
As we yield to the Spirit of God and worship Him for Who He is, as He is revealed in the Word of God, we will begin to love Him more and that love will increase.
The Lord gives a promise to protect those who abide in that close loving relationship with Him.
Psalm 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
No enemy can enter this private place. For sure, we need Him in time of trouble.
How long has it been since you just loved on the Lord?
