Location! Location! Location!

Location! Location! Location!

The one thing we consider when buying a home or a starting a business is location.

If you leave far from the town,a lot of places and amenities will not be readily available. You spend more to get your kids to a good school, you have to travel to get good medical care etc but when you live in town, you have them at your fingertips. 

If you start a business and you open a shop in a bad location or in a place that inaccessible. You will hardly make a profit.

Location is everything!

Being at the right place and the right time will prevent you from missing life changing opportunities.

David understood the benefits of being at the right place at the right time. He understood the value of location and so he says in Psalm 16:11 " In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore"

The Psalmist says in Psalm 27:4" One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord, All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord"

Not only does he deeply desire to be in Gods presence but he has decided to seek it and remain there forever i.e on earth and in heaven.

Psalm 84:10 " For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness

Wow! He would rather be a doorkeeper in Gods courts! Just like our popular saying in pidgin "at all at all na him bad pass". To not be in Gods presence at all is truly an awful thing. David knew this but how many of us know this and realize that being in Gods presence should be our Ultimate desire?

Jesus told Martha that she was busy with many things but Mary has chosen the best thing . Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus! She located herself at Jesus feet!

If the challenges of life are overwhelming . We need to ask ourselves if we

are sitting at Jesus feet?

Have I been in Gods presence? 

Lord we ask that you help us to live in your presence. Teach us to hunger to be in your presence through Christ Our Lord. Amen
