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

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
