‘One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek 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 seek him in His temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock’. Psalm 27:4-5 [NIV]
Do you feel you live in God’s presence every day? Are there days when you feel a million miles away from God?
We all experience times when we find it hard to gaze upon God’s beauty. Maybe we are in physical pain or emotional turmoil. Yet Psalm 27 gives us a real hope and place of security, where we can be looked after and sheltered in those difficult times.
What a comforting thought that God is there for us, we only need to seek Him and He will reveal His beauty to us. He will look after us and give us the assurance of His security and presence. What is there to fear? This is the safest place that we can take our heart, mind, body and soul. God is the one who can protect us, mend us, heal us and bring us His joy.
Will you seek Him with all your heart today and be amazed by His beauty?
Father God, I seek you with all my heart today and may your beauty shine upon me. May I know your place of safety and security and recognise your presence in my life and my life in your presence. Amen
