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. (Psalm 27:4)
I've heard it said, if you want to find out what's most important to you, just look at where you spend your spare time, where you spend your money and what you think about.. It quickly becomes obvious what you value most in life. David said there was one thing he wanted from God and even said "that I shall seek". In other words, not only did he ask God for this one most important thing, he also intended to do his part to make the request a reality. He valued being in God's presence more than anything. He just wanted to be in God's house, behold His beauty and meditate on God Himself. I want to have a heart like that, to value my relationship with God more than anything else, to "behold the beauty of the Lord and meditate in His temple".
