Have you considered this one thing?
- Dwelling in the house of the Lord
(Psalms 27:4) 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. {the beauty: or, the delight} (KJV)
1. Why dwell in the house of the Lord?
- (Psalms 26:8) LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. (KJV)
The house of the Lord is where God's honor is found.
Here are some scriptures that talk about honor:
(Psalms 29:2) Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. (KJV)
(Psalms 34:3) O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. (KJV)
(Psalms 57:5) Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. (KJV)
(Psalms 71:8) Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. (KJV)
(Psalms 107:32) Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. (KJV)
(Psalms 145:5) I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. (KJV)
(Isaiah 25:1) O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. (KJV)
(Revelation 19:7) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (KJV)
Is it our desire to dwell in the house of the Lord forever?
I think of it in this manner, to dwell in a place with someone means that I will be near to them.
I can be nearer to the Lord when I am in a place to spend time with him.
Places where I can be near to the Lord:
- At church. (Hebrews 10:25)
- In my prayer closet.(1 Thessalonians 5:17)
- While studying His Word. (2 Timothy 2:15)
Where do you spend time alone with God?
