The Beauty of the House

The Beauty of the House Part 1

Greetings Sons of God:

Psalm 27:4: One thing have I desired of the LORD that will I seek after, 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 enquire in his temple.

David writes this beautiful Psalm and one that I believe we need to come back to the very heart of.  It is very easy to look externally at our condition and see the depravity and despair in our world.  We see trouble all around us and it is hard too look and see the good things on earth for all the confusion and sin.  However as a son, David refocuses our attention to where I heart, soul and mind need to be.  We enquire of the Lord in His temple and behold His beauty.  As sons of God we are the House of God and we live in Him.  We must learn how to dwell within the House of God and in dwelling and enquiring we see His beauty.  The next question is what is the temple of the Lord where we may enquire and see His beauty? 
The temple of the Lord is the House of God, the Sons of God, the Church, the Body of Christ.
When we enter into the Body of Christ there are mature sons that are able to put the character and glory of the Father on display that you will have an example to follow.  In putting His character on display the beauty and the glory of the Lord is seen.  I can promise you this because I have seen this beauty, when you enter into the House of God you are able to see the beauty within the House through the diversity of the sons and how the House is ordered and matured trans-generationally. 

Now notice that David does not simply say dwell but enquire!  We need to enquire of the Lord in the House of God because we are to be like Him and receive the prize of Christ-likeness.  This must be matured through real relationships ordered by the Lord.  Remember it is the Spirit that arranges you in the Body! Not you who arranges!  Meaning it is important for you to be in the right household within the Body for you to grow.  The first thing you will learn when you enquire is to rest from YOUR labors.  You stop fighting and being entangled with the affairs of this life and you learn how to live from the mind of Christ. 

Let us enquire of the Lord in His House!

Peace and Grace
