We started writing little devotionals at work and this is the one I shared.

“One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple” Psalm 27:4

Often, the Lord will invite me to stop and slow down in my day. (For me that is hard to do).
It is when I stop, I hear him say GAZE, and linger here in my beauty, in my presence. It is amazing how all my stress, all my disappointments, all my sin is changed, is gone when I dwell in HIS house, and HE is all that matters to me. Not the world or anything of it, just HIM.

I pray we have time to stop and gaze upon the beauty of the Lord today, and are changed by HIS presence.

LOVE it!!! What a good reminder. Sometimes I wonder if instead of just leading us beside still waters, Jesus pours them over us and washes away all the things you said. This is wonderful Jo!
