God Desires 7 Things

7 times God expresses in the Word that He has a desire for something. We can see that these desires are all centered on His love for the Church. There is a progression of His desires from the Old Testament on into the New Testament until we see His final desire:that His Church would see His glory:

1. He desires the beauty of the Church—Ps. 45:11

2. He desires truth inside our hearts (integrity)—Ps. 51:6

3. He desires that we 

(Zion – the place and people of His presence) would be His dwelling place forever—Ps. 132:13-14

4. He desires intimacy with us—Song of Songs 7:10

5. He desires that we would be like Him 

– rich in mercy—Hosea 6:6 (Eph. 2:4)

6. He desires that we would increase in 

knowing Him—Hosea 6:6 (NLT)

7. He desires that we would see His glory—John 17:24

If these are the things that God desires - we should run after each one - so that we would be part of revealing His glory in, and through our lives.
