One desire

Week 2 · Monday · Psalm 27: The LORD Is My Light

For today

David asks for one thing: to dwell with God and gaze on his beauty. Everything else in this psalm, the fear and the waiting, is held inside that one desire.

Begin with these verses

The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?

Psalm 27:1BSB

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

Psalm 27:4BSB

^{verse 13}Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. ^{verse 14}Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!

Psalm 27:13–14BSB
