Psalms 27:4 (NASB) One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall 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 meditate in His temple.
This verse, though a mere glimpse into the deep passionate love that David had for God, reveals the true heart of a worshipper. David longed to stay in His presence and in His glory because he understood that this is the source of life. This verse is one that describes my life-long inner heart desire to live and walk in deep intimate fellowship with the Lord.
Worship is meant to draw us into unity with each other as we come on one accord before a Holy, Loving, and Awesome God who deserves our fear and reverence. From childhood until the present day music has been an avenue of passionate expression for me. From choirs, to musical singing groups, to school bands music has always had a major impact upon my life.
After receiving Jesus into my heart as a teenager and an encounter with Him while in college this passion for music was redirected to giving Him all of the glory that Heaven may manifest upon the Earth. Every opportunity to worship the Lord is truly a privilege and an honor. Like David said in Psalms 27:4 I long to behold the beauty of the Lord and meditate (Hebrew meaning is to plough into, break forth, inspect, and inquire) in His temple. Simply put the more He reveals the more I long to know Him more.
My prayer is that a harvest of worshipers will come forth with these same desires. May Heaven invade the Earth in the lives of all who have given their entire lives to worship Him. In Jesus’ name Amen!
