Better Is One Day In Your Courts




I love music.  Worship songs allow me to lean into God and catch a glimpse of what it will be like in heaven.  I particularly love songs that come straight from scripture. Psalm 84 is one of those scriptures that has been put to music.

How lovely is your dwelling place,
    Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God. -Verse 1,2


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.  -Verse 10

As you listen to the words. Spend some time thanking God for your blessings. It is so easy to take each day for granted. 

Psalm 84 also says

Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, 

whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.
