One Thing That Determines All Things (Psalms 27)

by Rev. Jeremiah Cheung

如果你可以向神求一件事, 你會向神求什麽? 你先將你的答案放在心裡,最後我們再拿出來作比較。

大衛在詩篇27:4詋 [有一件事,我曾求耶和華,我仍要尋求 : 就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中,瞻仰祂的榮美,在祂的殿裡求問.]

詩篇27篇是大衛在危難之中,那個時候他掃羅王追殺,掃羅派出全國最好的勇士去追殺他, 大衛連父母都不敢帶在身邊,他在嚝野逃命,在這個時候他卻冩下了詩篇27篇。他只求一件事,他要與神建立親密的關係,意思就是要認識神。

If you could ask one thing from God, what would that be?

David says in Psalm 27:4, “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.”

David wrote this Psalm when he was in distress. At that time, King Saul was pursuing him and had sent the country’s best warriors to kill him. David couldn’t even bring his parents with him. He had fled into the wilderness.

Despite the gravity of his situation, there was only one thing that David sought, and that is to establish a close relationship with God, meaning he wanted know God.
