Your Purpose Is Fueled By God’s House

“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.” To be like David, having the desire to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of your life is indicative of a close relationship with the Lord. According to the bible we are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus even while still here on earth. We can have a sense of heaven on earth through our fellowship with God. As christians we must initiate the process of manifesting God’s presence through praise and worship. We can come to the Lord in spirit and in truth, because God seeks such a believer to worship Him that way. To dwell in the house of the Lord is to be an active member of the kingdom of God. We have a God given purpose while still here on earth. Waking in your God given purpose brings a sense of heaven to you because now you’re walking on the path God predestined for you before you were born. And an awareness begins to come into play that your purpose is bigger than yourself, and once obtained, the peace that goes along with knowing your purpose gives hope and encouragement. These are qualities of the house of the Lord, (truth, hope, encouragement, joy, etc.). David knew his purpose, do you know yours?
