One thing I have desire of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
This verse is so deep!!! There are so many things to draw from it!
Every prayer in the book of Psalms is directly linked with this "one desire".
This is how to trust in the Lord, like David says in Psalm 31:1, "In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness." In setting his life-orientation around this one desire, he was trusting everything in the Lord.
This is what it means to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and to not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path. To acknowledge, in that context, means to know intimately. How do we do know God intimately like that? "To dwell in the house of the Lord... behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple." To remain in His presence, to study Him and to seek Him out. To ask Him questions.
Awesome. :D
