Times are Tough. You Get One Wish. What Do You Wish For?
4 One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.
This verse is a true test of one’s religion. Is it religion or do you know God? Those who truly know him long to be with Him, around Him, worshiping Him. If given but one wish, if allowed to seek after only one thing, it will be to be in his presence. For some who hold to religion and do not know God, Heaven has little to offer in terms of longing for it. Their greatest wishes and pursuits are not to be in the presence of God. One hour of worship a week is about all they can tolerate. But for those who know God, this is to be our delight to dwell in His house, to gaze upon His beauty, and to worship Him.
Are you excited for Sunday yet? Are you longing for heaven?
