One Thing

Have you ever heard a new song for the first time and then listened to it over and over?  My roommates and sister can all attest that when I hear a song for the first time and like it, I play it over and over.  I sing it, dance to it, annoy people with it and think about it.  That lasts for about two weeks until I find a new song to groove out to.  One of my latest and greatest songs is "One Thing" by Finger Eleven. The chorus goes something like this:

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn't that be something?

The song got me thinking.  What one thing would I be willing to trade away everything for?  All my desires, dreams and possessions?  And how amazing would that one thing be if I spent all my time on it?  If I threw all my energies, creative, heart and soul into it?

I don't know if I have the answers but I ran into this verse while reading Psalms 27 last week.  Could this be it?

 

   I'm asking God for one thing,
      only one thing:
   To live with him in his house
      my whole life long. 

Now wouldn't that be something?
