You come before the Lord in worship today as people with full lives. You have duties and responsibilities that tumble off of your to do list. And for that reason, you must remember where you are and what you are doing as a matter of first importance. David expressed the words that must be on all of our hearts and lips, “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 enquirer in His temple” (Psalm 27:4). And it will not do to say that you have more distractions clanging around than David for just before this declaration he said, “Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should arise against me, in this will I be confident (Psalm 27:3).

The worship of God is always rendered in the midst of battle, amid dominion, amid the trouble of life. So you must offer the primary thing amid all of that, and that primary thing is to enquirer in this temple of the LORD. As you do so, remember that you do not go about this service in your own strength. The Spirit is within you, Christ before you and beside you. The Father smiles on you in the tumult. Trust Him and worship.
