Seeking Glory

Psalm 27.4, “(GW) I have asked one thing from the Lord. This I will seek: to remain in the Lord’s house all the days of my life in order to gaze at the Lord’s beauty and to search for an answer in His temple.” King David here belies a truth in his understanding that we should all heed. The one overriding purpose in our hearts should be the presence of our Lord: His Glory. His gift is indeed eternal life-to live in His presence for eternity indeed the purpose for which we were made. I remember a time earlier in my life when my quest for truth led down many paths of deception under the guise of religious truth. The truth is that the absence of real Truth in your life will lead you to believe anything and everything that comes your way. The very idea that we may discern right and wrong is based on the premise that the truth is established in our hearts (Especially, in a world where the “idea” of truth becomes ever more subjective). Our very ability to hear Him speaking to our hearts is directly related to His presence in our lives. The wonderful part is this- my search for truth has always been overshadowed by His everlasting, faithful and loving search for the very fellowship of my heart. His nature and character are planted in us at the time we receive Christ for the reason that we may seek Him and establish His kingdom in our hearts. So we find that in the seeking He has sought us all along. Luke 19.10, “(GW) Indeed the Son of Man has come to seek and to save people who are lost.”

Ravi Zacharias said something to which this nation should well listen and learn, and I close with it, “Where the Glory of God dwells, the voice of God is heard.”

II Corinthians 3.18, “(NASB) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”
