Psalm 27:4 is a beautiful pledge of a singleminded desire for a relationship with God: "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...."
It can prompt the question, "if I had only one request to put before God what would it be?" David"s request here seems to trump every other desire, because anything else is temporary and far lower in value. Still,in our daily lives the world competes for this heavenly longing by offering us all kinds of tempting and temporary enticements. Focusing on the eternal and the treasure of a relationship with God eases any other loss, any other unfulfilled dream. The gift of being with God forever is supreme, and if no other dream comes true or earthly comfort is attained, a relationship with God is cause for unspeakable joy everyday!
