"What Do You Wish?"

What Do You Wish?

"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; 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 enquire in his temple."    Psalms 27:4 

Three men were marooned on a desert island. As the days slowly went by,  they dreamed of what it would be like to be at home with their friends and family,  to be back at their jobs doing the things they loved. One day one of the men found a bottle. When he opened it, a genie came out and announced that he would grant each of them one wish.

"Really?" one of the men said, "Boy, I sure would love to be back in Seattle with my wife and kids." POOF! -- in an instant he was gone. Seeing that, the second man immediately gave his request, " I want to be back in New York with my fiancé!" And in a flash, POOF! -- he was gone too.

The third man was left all alone sitting on the sandy beach and said, "Wow, it's lonely here with my friends gone. I sure wish they'd come back." And POOF!

The Webster Dictionary defines "wish" as "to have a desire for, as something unattainable";. I think we use that word all too often. We're always wishing for something, always "needing" that one more thing. It seems like we can never be satisfied! 

The one thing we should desire the most is to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of our lives!

TRUTH:                                                                                                                                                                                                          God is the only One who can truly satisfy our longings. Give your hearts and desires to Him today!
