David's heart's desire

Do you ever think about the difference between a want and a heart's desire? There is a major difference in the two and it's fun to see how that works. I am still a racer at heart, I always will be and my want is to be the best drag racer around. I want to win races, track championships and ofcourse a lot of money doing it. I want to travel around and race all over, make a name for myself and be feared as a racer. I want all of those things and have wanted all of those things since childhood. I can honestly say that I am passionate about those things when I am at the track, but anywhere else they are just minor feelings.
On the other hand, my heart's desire is to reach St. Johns County for Christ. I love softball and I want to become a great highschool fastpitch softball coach, but it's just a want. When it comes to the things of God it is completely different. I desire above all things to reach this town with the Gospel. The things that make me able to accomplish that drive me beyond my own strength. Wednesday nights are a natural high like I cannot explain, as well as Sunday mornings. I love nothing more than being in the house of the Lord, or working to reach more people to bring them into the house of the Lord. This weekend we have a City Wide Youth event that I am extremely excited about. The passion and the hunger goes far, far beyond my anticipation of any race. Why? It's my heart's desire, and because Jesus has full reign on my heart it is His desire as well.
Psalm 27:4 says, "One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lrod and to seek him in his temple."
David's heart' desire is mapped out in this verse and it can mean 1 of 3 things. He can be first of all referring to the tabernacle at Gibeon that he built to house the Ark of the Covenant. Secondly, he could be referring to teh temple taht His son SOlomon would later build. Or thirdly, and most likely I beleive he is referring to being in God's presence. There is nothing greater than the feeling of knowing that you are in the presence of the Lord. That's a feeling that we know when it is there, and we should long for when it is missing.
So, what is your heart's desire? I hope it is to be in the presence of teh Lord all the days of your life, just like King David.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend!
