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. 

In His Grip

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
