All I Have ~ Tim Dobbelman






Devotion:


"One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
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 inquire in His temple.
Psalm 27:4"


What a beautiful Bible verse this is. It is telling us where our focus should be. There is only one thing which we should be desiring, and that is dwelling in the house of the Lord. He is our God and our Savior, but most of the time we treat Him like just another thing on our to-do list. Just someone else we have to talk to, not really a true friend in whom we confide. Our main desire should be God, not a fancy car, a high paying job, or even a college education. There is not anything wrong with having those things, but there is nothing that is more important than your relationship with Jesus Christ. When times get hard, it is not your money, your fancy house, or your Ford Mustang that's going to save you! Let us strive to seek the Lord each and every day, let us desire Him above the things this world has to offer, and let us dwell in His house all the days of our lives.
I would like to leave you with a closing verse.


"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2"
