One Secure Place

"I will be with you always." Matthew 28:20

David, the man after God's own heart, said: "I'm asking Yahwey for one thing, only one thing; to live with Him in His house my whole life long." . . . Psalm 27:4

What is this house of God which David seeks? Is David describing a physical structure? Does he long for a building with four walls and a door through which he can enter but never exit? No. "Our Lord does not live in temples built by human hands" (Act 17:24). When David says, "I will live in the house of the LORD forever" (Psalm 23:6), he's not saying he wants to get away form people. He's saying that he yearns to be in God's presence, wherever he is." - The Great House of God
