Psalms 27:4 KJV
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.
David's request was not about going to heaven here. He says he wants to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. He must be speaking of physical life because there is no end to eternal life.
Of all the things a man may seek in his lifetime, David said that his desire from the Lord was to dwell in the house of the Lord all his life. He must not mean that he would never leave it, for we know that David spent many hours in battle and in the administration of his kingdom. However there is a way that we can abide in the house of the Lord without actually being there seven days a week.
When we are faithful to the services of the house of the Lord
When we are diligent in serving at the house of the Lord
When our chief concern is for the care of the house of the Lord
When in those times we are not at the house of the Lord we still live a life befitting the inhabitants of it.
It is not possible for many of us to be at the house of the Lord all day every day. But all of us can live with the house of the Lord being the most important thing in our lives.
That was David's one desire of the Lord.
