He swore an oath to the Lord,
    he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
“I will not enter my house
    or go to my bed,
I will allow no sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
till I find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Psalm 132:2-5 (NIV)

When have I…

• …put God’s priorities ahead of my own?
• …eschewed momentary appetites for eternal purposes?
• …sacrificed my comfort to address God’s concern?
• …allowed spiritual hunger to rob me of sleep?
• …swore to God, and it was a good and serious thing?
• …been concerned about finding a space in my day, home, marriage, family, occupation, and life for God to dwell?
