‭Psalms 84:2

My soul yearns, even faints,

for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

[officialyourdailyinspiration]

Better is One Day in Your Courts

1 Lord God All-Powerful,    your temple is so lovely! 2 Deep in my heart I long    for your temple, and with all that I am    I sing joyful songs to you.

3 Lord God All-Powerful,    my King and my God, sparrows find a home    near your altars; swallows build nests there    to raise their young.

4 You bless everyone who lives in your house,    and they sing your praises. 5 You bless all who depend    on you for their strength and all who deeply desire    to visit your temple. 6 When they reach Dry Valley,    springs start flowing, and the autumn rain fills it    with pools of water. 7 Your people grow stronger, and you, the God of gods,    will be seen in Zion.

8 Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Jacob,    please answer my prayer! 9 You are the shield    that protects your people, and I am your chosen one.    Won't you smile on me?

10 One day in your temple is better than a thousand    anywhere else. I would rather serve    in your house, than live in the homes    of the wicked.

11 Our Lord and our God, you are like the sun    and also like a shield. You treat us with kindness    and with honor, never denying any good thing    to those who live right.

12 Lord God All-Powerful, you bless everyone    who trusts you. — Psalm 84 | Contemporary English Version (CEV) The Holy Bible, Contemporary English Version Copyright © 1995 by American Bible Society.

PSALMS S.O.A.P. ~ PSALM 84

Tuesday, 11/14/23

SCRIPTURE:

How happy are those who reside in Your house,  who praise You continually. Selah  ~ Psalm 84:4  Happy are the people whose strength is in You,  whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. ~ Psalm 84:5  Better a day in Your courts  than a thousand anywhere else.  I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than live in the tents of wicked people. ~ Psalm 84:10 

OBSERVATION:

Interesting opposites here:

Reside - have one's permanent home in a particular place;

Pilgrimage - a purposeful journey, often into an unknown or foreign place, where a person goes in search of new or expanded meaning about their self, others, nature, or a higher good through the experience. It can lead to a personal transformation, after which the pilgrim returns home to their daily life;

And then, 

the threshold of the house of God - implies permanence, residing...

...tents of the wicked - implies impermanence, moving from place to place...

Happy - residing and pilgriming in Him and in His presence... even for just a day...

APPLICATION:

Reside in Him;

Travel with Him;

Praise Him continually;

PRAYER:

Father God - may I travel with You, pilgrimage with You, return with You to Your house and accept my place at Your door... I ask forgiveness for my wandering... Please accept my praise and thanksgiving and worship for Your grace and mercy... through and in Jesus's Name, for Your honor... 

Happily trusting in Him... 𝖌

The Little Wild Flowers

“The look the Shepherd turned on her was very beautiful. “Nothing my Father and I have made is ever wasted,” he said quietly, “and the little wild flowers have a wonderful lesson to teach. They offer themselves so sweetly and confidently and willingly, even if it seems that there is no one to appreciate them. Just as though they sang a joyous little song to themselves, that it is so happy to…

Crying Out

My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Psalm 84:2 I was eating lunch today with my wife, when from across the restaurant I heard what sounded like a siren. It only took a couple seconds for the sound to become clear. It was an infant crying. The sound wasn’t particularly annoying, it was comforting in a way, to hear an…

‭Psalms 84:10-11

Better is one day in your courts

than a thousand elsewhere;

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

the Lord bestows favor and honor;

no good thing does he withhold

from those whose walk is blameless.

[kmac4him1st]

Happy are the people whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of spring water; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings. They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion. Psalms 84:5-7

[wiirocku]

Psalm 84:11 (NKJV) - For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.
