Daily || Four

I love Mondays. Truly, I do. I *typically* feel so refreshed, revitalized, and ready for another week. I love waking up early (okay, maybe not love, but I enjoy it), ready to write a new to-do list and just try again at life and hopefully do a little better than last week. After a nice weekend of quality time and relaxing, I feel filled up. So, I can genuinely say to you, Happy Monday! Because they do make me happy!

This Monday, I was convicted by Jesus after reading my morning devotions, and I wanted to share a little bit with you. The verse was this:

One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

Psalm 27:4 (ESV).

I can say with complete honesty and transparency that I definitely have not asked for one thing from Jesus. When I come to Him on my knees, I typically have a mile long list of requests, complaints, and desires.

"Provide a job, bring this person to you, give us a house, keep them safe, help me do this..."

I don't think David only asked one thing of God either, we have a book full of his requests and complaints. There was, however, something that stuck out to me. David, out of all his requests and needs and worries and fears and complaints, wanted one thing more than anything else. He had one big desire: to dwell and walk with Jesus.

What is our desire? Not our worldly desire, but our one big request from the Lord?

I pray that mine is like David's. I pray that above all I desire is to dwell with my God. I pray that all I really want in this life would be to stare into His magnificent beauty, and serve Him. I pray the same for you too. For together we can dwell with Him, and from there His blessing and goodness will rain upon our lives.

My wish for you today + this week: dwell with Jesus. Walk with Him, live in His goodness, and desire Him.
