Read Psalm 27:1, 4-9

  The Lord is my light and my salvation;

I will fear no one. The Lord protects me from all danger;

I will never be afraid.

⁴I have asked the Lord for one thing;

one thing only do I want: to live in the Lord’s house all my life,

to marvel there at his goodness,

and to ask for his guidance.

⁵In times of trouble he will shelter me;

he will keep me safe in his Temple

and make me secure on a high rock.

⁶So I will triumph over my enemies around me.

With shouts of joy I will offer sacrifices in his Temple;

I will sing, I will praise the Lord.

⁷Hear me, Lord, when I call to you!

Be merciful and answer me!

⁸When you said, “Come and worship me,”

I answered, “I will come, Lord;

⁹don’t hide yourself from me!”

Don’t be angry with me;

don’t turn your servant away.

You have been my help;

don’t leave me, don’t abandon me,

O God, my saviour.

Think

"I have asked the LORD for one thing; one thing only do I want: to live in the LORD's house all my life, to marvel there at his goodness, and to ask for his guidance."

- Psalm 27:4

What keeps you from 'living in the Lord's house'?

Pray

As I live and move today - help me to be mindful of your presence in the present.  Remind me to breathe.  To give thanks.
