I’m asking God for one thing

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 18Jul2025

Scripture Reference: Ps 27:4 (MSG)

I’m asking God for one thing

I’m asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with Him in His house my whole life long. I’ll contemplate His beauty;    I’ll study at His feet.

Here, David expressed his desire, distinct request, a declaration. Seeking the most, above all else, earnestly wanted Him more than anything else. Hence he said wanted to live, dwell in the House of the Lord, all the days of his life, whole life long, every moment. Just to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord, beholding beauty of the YHWH, filled with awe, delighting in His Glory and His Grace. Just to marvel there at His goodness to ask for His guidance, to pray in His presence, to study at His feet as Mary did, to seek Him, searching for an answer and meditating Him and His WORD. Hallelujah. To inquire, to look on the pleasantness of ADONAI, sweetness of Him, To visit and survey His temple.  What a great desire and state of Prayer. 

Trust is not doing things, it's being with Him.

Hence, later in the Psalm, He mentioned that though an army, a war, struggles, an opposition, neglection or no respect situations, I WILL KEEP My TRUST and wait patiently for the Lord. While waiting, He was not simply feeling low, allowing imposter syndrome to dominate, blaming others, worrying and pointing fingers but he strengthen himself in the Lord, to be strong and courageous to journey with HIM.

Why we must keep our Trust in the Lord?

He has been our helper (V9). He did not leave or forsake us when we call Him!. He is merciful and answering us. Our hears says, Seek His Face, so we Seek His Face (V8). 

While Trusting and patiently waiting, Let us Ask God,

• Teach us Your way, Your WORD's way, not World's way (Ps 17:4)
• Lead us on a level Path (Ps 27:11)
• Not to hand over us to the will of our foes (Ps 27:12)
• Hide us in His Shelter (Ps 27:5)
• Conceals us under the cover of His tent (Ps 27:5)

Let us Pray by declaring our Trust in Him. Dear Father, I first seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Mt 6:33), only one thing is necessary (Lk 10:42), I want to choose the Godly good. I forget what is behind me, focusing toward what is ahead of my life, I press on toward to win the Prize that You have for me (Php 3:13-14). Please create a thirst to drink the spiritual lessons, milk (1Pt 2:2-3). I know of sure that goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever (Ps 23:6). I will compass thine altar, o Lord, today and forever (Ps 26:6) because I want to see thy Power and thy Glory continually (Ps 63:2-5), In Jesus Name, I Pray, Amen.

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend.
