One Thing Have I Desired

Many people have a long list of desires and wants.  

Christmas time finds adults and children making a list and checking it twice of all the things they'd like and hope to receive.  

New Year's finds people again making a list of things they'd like to accomplish or see happen in the New Year. 

Even prayer time finds people making their needs and wants known before God. (I'm not saying that is all bad, especially when we're petitioning for healings or the salvation for the lost.)

But above all our wants and desires there is ONE THING that we should desire of the Lord,  just as King David did. He prayed in Psalm27:4...

"One thing have I desired 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 behold the beauty of the Lord, 

and to enquire in his temple."

Above everything else, we should desire and seek after drawing closer to Jesus. To dwell in His Presence continually.   That should be our main desire and prayer. 

Jesus, may we seek you more and draw closer to You than ever before throughout this new year.
