To ask, to seek, to dwell, to gaze, to inquire.

I suppose you could mix them up, stir them around, or take them in reverse.

You could do them all at once.

You could take them in order.

It is a simple "ask" that ushers in a progression beyond asking.

That which is sought is He who is sought.

It is not a package of gifts, but a giver of gifts.

One thing.

One thing.

I ask and seek to dwell …

that I may gaze and inquire …

… and from there?

Limitless possibilities.

" One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the LORD

 and to inquire in his temple."

(Psalm 27:4 ESV)
