“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.” – Psalm 27:4
Is one day in the courts of the Lord really better than a thousand elsewhere (Psalm 84:10)?
Would you rather trade off all the treasures the world has to offer for the slot of a doorkeeper in God’s heavenly abode?
Who has ascended to the heavens to behold the beauty of the Lord in this domain?
Oh! What a privilege, beyond rubies’ worth, that would be.
Or who has, from the plains of the earth, caught a glimpse of the heavens’ foundations?
What an honour it will be to be enlightened by such one.
But why seek out any of these in times like this?
Why reinvent the wheel, recreate the motion picture, or rewrite the narratives already well documented in scriptures and other spheres?
For the spiritually enlightened, it’s natural to desire a lifetime residency in God’s house to escape all of life’s concerns.
It is instinctive for humans to aspire towards greater comfort, with many stuck in comfort zones of all kinds.
The global trend in immigration is a strong indicator of this fact.
Even the Psalmist, a great and mighty king, in all his pomp, pageantry and royal extravagance, like every human, desired something far greater than what he already had.
This, without a doubt, is permanent residency in God’s kingdom.
If King David earnestly desired this of the Lord, who are we, in our incomparably inglorious state, not to?
To all them that are still asleep, pinch yourself and awaken from your deep slumber to the reality that awaits.
Obtain your citizenship of God’s nation for free while you yet can.
Time is running out.
Remain blessed.
