I'm not starting this with anything in particular to write. It's just that I haven't written in awhile so I'm going to stir the pot and see if anything of substance rises to the surface. Saying something has never been a problem. It's saying something worth saying that's the issue. I've been in a season of listening and hearing, seeing and perceiving, this morning in particular spent digesting Psalm 27. The writer makes a stunning declaration when he says, "one thing have I desired of the Lord and that will I seek after..." That's the part that's stunning to me. More than what He seeks, it's that he reduced his entire life down to one thing. It's that refined focus that says that I'm alive for a single purpose. The one thing is to live in the manifest presence of His glory and from that place make Him known. It amounts not just for us but for the impact of His glory to shape the world around us. "...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..." What just rocks me about this is that the fulfillment of that one thing leads to another quest. To be in that place of beholding is what qualifies you to inquire. It's what grants you access to the place of greater breakthrough in wisdom and revelation. Have you reduced your life to one desire? Is there one cry in you that encompasses it all?
