Today we are looking at the benefits of seeking after God. From this passage we want to see what blessings result from spending time with God. In verses one and two we find David’s desire to experience God's presence. "How lovely is your tabernacle". The tabernacle was the center of worship, because it enabled David to come into the presence of God. As you read these verses you can really get a feel of David’s intense desire to experience God's presence. Why? I guess the analogy I can think of is a baby. It is amazing to me if you set a baby down and leave them alone they begin to cry and fuss. But as soon as you pick them up they calm down and begin to snuggle right up to you. I guess in a lot ways that’s how I see God's presence. Often if a I feel alone or feel anxious about something or just feel lost. I want to run into the presence of God and just say hold me. How do we do that? By spending time with God. By getting into His Word, by prayer, by meditating on Him. David’s intense desire to experience God comes from is intense willingness to spend time with God. How intense in your desire to experience God's presence? How intense is your willingness to spend time alone with God? One blessing of seeking God is to experience His presence, to feel His loving arms of grace and mercy wrap around me. As I experience that presence I can rest knowing my God, my father is there.
Father thank you for your presence. Help us to have the same desire as David for your presence. Give us the determination to spend time with you no matter the cost.
