The Believer's Desire

"One thing have I desired 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 behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple." Psalms 27:4

The child of God's desire here on earth is to know Christ, to behold him, and to learn more of him. He is the fairest of ten thousand to the heart and soul of all who are blessed to see him by faith. He is the singular object of their faith and worship. All else vanishes like the light of a candle in the presence of the noon day sun. Like David, you will find those who are captivated by the beauty of his holiness which saturates and permeates his infinite being as God and sinless virtues as the God-man, desiring, seeking, beholding and inquiring of him all the days of their life.

To those who truly know him and see him by faith, he is their life. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory? Col 3:4. When Christ is the ONE THING we desire, all else will be consumed by his perfections. The alluring glitter of this world as well as the cares and troubles of this earthly pilgrimage are only a bump in the road and a hindrance ordained by God to cause us to look to him the more.

The comforts and pleasures of this world, though real and compelling to the flesh, by God's grace, are cast aside by those who really desire him that they may enquire of him in the gospel and worship him as his glorious person and work is proclaimed. "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD" (Psalms 122:1). The believer's desire is evident by his gladness of heart and faithfulness to attend the things of Christ. The believer will find reason and excuse to enquire in his temple, while the unbelieving professor will try to give reason and excuse to himself why he cannot be faithful. Those who love and desire the pleasures of this world more than Christ are offended by this truth, while those who love and desire Christ are humbled by it.

To believe the doctrines of grace as fact is one thing, and a good thing, but to know and love Christ and those doctrines revealed in him is salvation and the desire of every child of God. Therefore, those who know Christ can say with David, "One thing have I desired 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 behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in His temple.
