One Thing

Sunday I'm preaching on Psalm 27--which was part of y'days reading-- and here's a sample of what's in store for us:

One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple. --Ps.27:4

David's twofold desire, to behold and to inquire, to know more intimately the beauty of the Lord's Person and the wonder of His will, combines as the one thing he wants

above all others. --Derek Kidner
