Psa 84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! Psa 84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. ……... Psa 84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
How pleasant is Thy dwelling place, O Lord! What a thrill to be where the presence of God is! My whole being desires to be in the presence of the living God, to experience the joy and assurance of His very presence. It is better to be in His presence for just a day, than to live a thousand elsewhere. It is better to be at the lowest servant’s place in the Lord’s house than to live large in the tent of the wicked. How we ought to value and long for the presence of God! How careful we should be to live in a way that invites His approval and presence!
