"Psalm 27:4 (AMP) 4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:6 (NLT) 6 Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the LORD with music. Psalm 27:8 (AMP) 8 You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word]. " O: 1)David put intimacy with God as his highest prayer request. 2) When rescued…. He promises to offer sacrifices, with should of joy, singing, and praising the Lord with Music. 3) He heard God's request/command, to seek God. His heart, responded to that.
A: When God comes through for me … I'm thankful, but I don't have a party to sacrifice, shout for joy, sing and praise the Lord with music. Many big things God has done recently, that I consider miracles. Beth getting her visa in 32 days. Mom's pain being less. Ryan going to the conference and loving it. I want to be constantly talking to the Lord all day. As I discover answers to prayer... immediately shout for joy, and then respond with singing and praising God. P. Lord, I'm sorry that I take answers to prayer so passively. I appreciate them, but I seem to always be focused on the next crisis, the next situation where I need your help. You are faithful. I can't believe all the prayers that you have answered recently. You caused the Women's study to come together, and I can see now how needed it was by all of us. You have helped me to stay on this modified fast for 16 days. You have drawn me closer to you. You helped Sylva to come back to Tuesday evenings. You caused the school to be very excited about my participation. You brought the twins to kids clubs last week. You've kept me from depression, even though the skies have mostly been gray, and others are down. I thank you Lord. You are huge. You are infinite and nothing is too hard for you. You reveal your heart to mere humans. You are completely other, and we are created in your image, but not at all your equal, so not like you in many ways. You povide a cleansing for me moment by moment as I run to you. And most of all you love me, and seek me out for relationship. I love you so much Lord. Keep drawing me deeper to yourself. Amen.
