I will be with you always.

Matthew 28:20

David, the man after God's own heart, said: "I'm asking Yahweh for one thing, only one thing: to live with him in his house my whole life long".... (Ps 27:4 MSG).

What is this house of God which David seeks? Is David describing a physical structure? Does he long for a building with four walls and a door through which he can enter but never exit? No. "Our Lord does not live in temples built by human hands" (Acts 17:24). When David says, "I will live in the house of the LORD forever" (Ps. 23.6), he's not saying he wants to get away from people. He's saying that he yearns to be in God's presence, wherever he is.
