If God was a magic genie …

Have you ever experienced that awkward moment when you approached someone and started talking to them because you thought they were someone else?

You thought for sure this stranger was your good friend Joe!

Embarrassingly, he wasn’t.

Sometimes we mistake one person for another. We even make this error with God, often mistaking Him for a magic genie. You know the kind, rub the bottle and you get three wishes. Anything you want, just ask!

What if God would actually grant any wish you asked for? Not three, just one.

Think about it … what would you ask for?

Here’s what King David asked for:

“The one thing I ask of the Lord—
    the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
    delighting in the Lord’s perfections
    and meditating in his Temple.”
Psalm 27:4
Foremost, David did not seek security from his enemies, or the comfort of his palace; he longed to be like the priests, to live in the house of the Lord and delighting in Him his whole life.
Times have changed since David was king, but one thing has not: the Lord desires our company. Not just for a lifetime, but forever. It is His desire that we dwell with Him in His house …
“2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am,” John 14:2-3.
That’s one request the Lord wants us to desire and ask for!
What’s your wish?
