FAITH CAPSULE: This life, it is possible to live life for the glory of God.
Psalm 27, Revelation 4
God’s relocation for us is to place us in the center of His divine assignment for the life He has given us. Our only way to the center of His divine assignment for us is to seek Him. David, a man after God’s heart revealed what it demands for man to be positioned at God’s divine assignment for man. Psalm 27:4 stated it, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple.”
What is it to seek Him?
Seeking means: to go in search that is discover by searching. Seeking demands commitment. Often, seeking can be labor and not be fun. Labor is productive activity, especially for the sake of gain. Seeking is to strive or work hard toward a goal. Believer of God is to obey God’s command as stated, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” (Deuteronomy 6:5) David said it all stating that, his desire of the Lord demands seeking God.
Is it your desire to give self to seeking God and knowing that seeking God is not a funfair? Jesus pointed out about seeking God, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) Giving self to seeking God continually will place man to be dwelling in the house of the Lord all days of life.
Is it your desire to be dwelling in the house of the Lord all the days of your life just as David mentioned in the above verse? Truly, it is possible to give self unto God like David.
David also pointed it out that dwelling in the house of the Lord is to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple. Beauty of the Lord is nothing but the Light. Jesus is His Light. Word of God stated, “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12) “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) Jesus is the indescribable beauty light of God.
By the will of God, our existence and created is for His glory. (Revelation 4:11) We are living for His glory. From this day begin to desire for the Lord, seek Him and behold His beauty (His light) to be reflecting His light in this dark and wicked world. Live life for the glory of God!
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be seeking Him and live for His glory.
