Psalm 27:4 I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking [Him] in His temple.
Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and courageous. Wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27 is written by David and is a request for God to hear him and care for him. David understood that if he was in the presence of God that God would meet his every need.
Impatience is something that I am working on in myself. More and more technology is being created to find solutions on the spot. I upgrade as quickly as I can so that get where I need to get as quickly as I can get there.

It does not work that way with God. It is like any other relationship. You cannot microwave a relationship and expect it to last long It takes time to form and develop. David reminds me of this in Psalm 27. He ends chapter 27 repeating the important message to "Wait for the Lord." Too many times I have rushed into decisions or into meetings without seeking the Lord first.
God help me to practice patience more in my life. Help me to make Psalm 27 a part of who I am that I can wait on your best instead of just my good. Let my desire be to dwell with you as much as possible.
