Where Are You Dying to Visit?

O. T. #1285  "Where Are You Dying to Visit?"
Sept. 14, 2018
Psalm 84
Blessed are they that dwell in the house: they will still be praising Thee.  Psalm 84:4

LET IT GLOW

Are there some places you are dying to visit, so to speak? This writer had such a place. Where was it? Read on and find out, friend.

But first, some background. This chapter could have been composed by the sons of Korah, who were born to the second wife of Moses. David appointed them as ministers of music. They lead the people in singing as they journeyed  to Jerusalem for worship.

How is God described?
  • LORD of Hosts,
  • the Living God,
  • my King,
  • my God,
  • God of Jacob,
  • our shield.
Shall we stay close to the One who is our Living God and our shield?
Is He your everything?


LET IT GROW

The writer is speaking of the lovely Tabernacles, which he is dying to visit. (put in modern expression) Although we can meet with God anywhere, we need to come away from a busy and demanding world. Going to the church building, we can step aside the demands put upon us and meditate on God and His Word, and pray. We can find joy and strength, encouragement, and love from other believers in fellowship, grace and mercy.
Are we happily praising our God in His sanctuary?

LET IT GO

You are my Living God, my shield.
Help me to praise You happily each day as well as in Your sanctuary.
