The Thing I Seek Most
I have to confess that living with the Lord and delighting in his perfections is not the one thing I seek most. Most of what I seek is for my own comfort and benefit. Right now, the thing I seek most is for our house in Sherman to sell. True, I seek this for reasons like I want to be nearer the people we serve and the people we are trying to reach. I want to be able to use our home as a place to show hospitality and to connect with new people. I want my family to be closer to our school and jobs. I want to have more time to spend with my family instead of being on the road so much. I want to be able to relax sometimes instead of constantly having to be on the go and rushing to get there. I know these are not necessarily bad things, but they have crowded out desiring the Lord's perfections. Lord, forgive me for having lesser things as my greatest desire right now. Help me desire you above all else and see the other things in perspective to that one thing.
