vs. 4  Desire to dwell in the house of the LORD – to abide with Him.  When trouble comes, stay close to Him (stay faithful to church!)  More than that, my daily walk must be in the “house” of the LORD.  I am His temple!  Is it fitting to call me “His House”?  He dwells within me…Am I a place He is comfortable in? a place He can call “home”?

In addition to this aspect, I am compelled to consider my house.  I do desire my house, where I live, to be “the house of the LORD“.  When I (or anyone else) walk through my door, I should be surrounded by a “Christ centered” atmosphere.  I want to “behold the beauty of the LORD” at my house.

-pleasant, harmonious, God glorifying music

-decent & orderly

-sweet smelling

-comfortable

-safe haven

-bright & cheerful

-hospitable & cozy

-without strife

When I desire to make myself and the surroundings I can control reflect “Christ-centeredness”, I open a greater door of access to be able to ‘enquire’  of the LORD.  He is welcomed here.
