Ch. 89 - Seek

'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.'
[Psalm 27:4]

5. May 2010 Edit:

Because of the new covenant, we are now God's temple[s]. He dwells within us: 'Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?...' [1 Corinthians 6:19] But this does not mean that we are able to stop seeking Him. We should be praying for continual communion with God. David knew the Lord's beauty, and desired to gaze upon it all the days of his life. Don't you think that if we truly believed we have seen and know the Lord's beauty that we would desire the same thing? If we have seen and know His holiness... His goodness... His splendor... His lovingkindness... we should be striving to seek Him and know Him above all other things.

... So why don't we?

Why is He not constantly at the fronts of our minds?
Why do we not constantly seek the help of the Holy Spirit?
Why are praises for Him not constantly on our lips?
Why is He constantly pushed aside, away, or forgotten altogether?
