WHAT IS YOUR GOAL? - Bible Meditation

-

“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” (Psa 27:4).



David desired one thing, and he desired it with all his heart; his one desire was to behold the Lord. God’s desire is that we too be single-minded in our seeking after Him. If we allow ourselves to be distracted by anything, we shall never succeed in this, our most important spiritual quest.


Paul was also single-minded: “This ONE THING I do,” he said, “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:13,14).


The Lord is asking you one thing today: Are you a person of one mind, or is your mind set on a number of different things? What are you seeking? Perhaps the devil is tempting you to focus your mind on the things of this world. Jesus rebuked Martha with the words: “Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but ONE THING is needful: and Mary hath chosen THAT GOOD PART which shall not be taken away from her” (Lk 10:41, 42). If you neglect that one thing, you will worry about a multiplicity of other things, about things that can be taken away from you.


Some never acquire any goals other than material ones; all they desire is to realize their material goals and go to the grave. Our goal must be beyond the grave.


David had confidence that he would achieve his aim, for in Psalm 23 he says: “SURELY…I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Let us have ONE AIM, and let us set our mind on it.

Amen !

             An eaglet knows that it is going to ne day fly like mother - not creep on the earth or walk on the ground. We are begotten of our God. The name of our Jesus is wonderful. His children are also wonderful like him. That's why the Word of God says, "Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Isreal" (Isa 8:18). Our wonderful Jesus makes our lives wonderful.             Let this wonderful jesus come into your life. He wants to make your life wonderful. He desires to do wonders in your life. He will turn darkness into light. He will create everything out of nothing. Your thoughts, your words, your character, your peace, your joy, will become wonderful. Everything connected with Jesus is wonderful; He will make everything connected with you also wondeful. This life with Jesus is most wonderful and existing.                Our Jesus is going to do something most wonderful very, very soon. A thing that has not been done s

My God ! - Bible Meditation

 "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him will I trust" (Psa 91:2). Though Saul was chosen by God to be the first king of Isreal, We don't read of him ever referring to the Lord as my God'; but we see David saying 'my God many times. St. Paul says, "My God shall supply all your needs."           How does God become 'my God' or a personal God? by receiving the Holy Spirit, by taking water baptism, or by doing will of God, you cannot make God your God. For God to become 'my God' I must delight to do God's will, " I delight to do Thy will, O my God: Thy law is within my heart"  (Psa 40:8). You may   do the will of God, but you may not doing it joyfully. When you delight to do the will of God, the omnipoint, omnipresent God becomes your own personal God.           Knowing God and knowing about God are two different things. By reading the word of God, by listening to messages, etc. we come know God. But we know God person
