Living life with God in view

Surrounded by those opposed to God and opposed to his ministry. Feeling pressed and pressured on every hand. The writer of Psalm 27 reminds us to live our lives with our face toward the Lord.He writes, "one thing have I desired of the Lord and that will I seek after. That I may behold the beauty of the Lord all the days of my life and to inquire in His temple." In others words, as the psalmist sought God in daily experience through the art of worship he found that a fresh encounter of God's presence brought new enthusiasm (the excitement that comes from being in God) and the opportunity to receive wisdom from God's own mouth.It's in those moments of divine distraction that a person receives the stuff of life and living.
