There is something magical about God

12/6/11                                                                             Psalm 27

Scripture: Psalm 27:4&5,8&9,11,13&14 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. My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me of forsake me, O God my Savior. Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.


Observation: What this passage is about is the one thing we ask of God. that we may dwell in the house of the Lord HIS House all the days of our life. To gaze upon HIS beauty and to seek him in HIS temple. Because we know that when we face trouble he will keep us safe in his dwelling. Our hearts are always saying to us seek his face. The face of the Lord, We ask that He will not hide is face and not to turn your servant away because he is angry. The last 2 verses is a prayer: to Teach us in his way, to lead us in a straight path. We will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living and we are to WAIT for the lord, yet be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Application: What we need to do is to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living and to wait for him. Do not take each day for granted because you don't know when you will wake up in line for the gates of heaven. But also to be a blessing upon others that are less fortunate then yourselves. But we ask that we can stay in his house and to gaze upon his beauty, because his house is more glorious then all of ours put together as well as his beauty is more beautiful then all of people put together. There is something magical about him, because he is God. Its hard to describe, which is why not many people come back to tell us what heaven is about. Its almost like a surprise to us. He is the most perfect perfect person, because he is God.

Prayer: Oh Lord God Teach me your ways that you have asked for us to have. Lead us in a straight path, even those that have fallen off the beaten path and wish to come and know you. Let us all wait for you and be strong and take heart while we are waiting. We ask that you keep us in line for you, to be your servants and seek you in your temple. For it is in you that we either live for you or die not knowing you. Amen.
