"One thing that I have desired of the Lord, that I will 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 inquire in His temple. When You said, 'Seek my face,' My heart said to You, 'Your face I will seek."
I read this yesterday morning and it was just what I needed. I worry about what needs to be done for the day, and what needs to be done in the next few months. I want to finish out the year well, be faithful to the work God has given me here, and prepare to go. I was reminded today that HE is my goal. Knowing, treasuring, and enjoying Him should be the priority for each day. Then my work will not be "wood, hay, and stubble" but lasting. The last two days have been different becuase as I have trusted Him he has given me opportunities with students that I would have missed if I hadn't learned this. Pray that I would really live this out:
"I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in Him He will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
