Seeking God's Presence

If you could ask God for one thing… just one thing, what would it be? In Psalm 27, David said, "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. David is reminding us that the presence of God is better than anything we can ask for. It’s better than having the best job or a nicer home, a better self-esteem, or more popular friends. It’s in the presence of God that we can be fully known and fully loved. That no sin and shame can hold us or bind us. It’s the in the presence of God that we are healed and set free.
