Psalm 84

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah. Behold our shield, O God And look upon the face of Your anointed. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Lord of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!  (Psalm 84:8-11, NASB)

Psalm 84 is called “Longing for the Temple Worship.”  Indeed, when one reads this, the psalmist has one thing in his mind:  Worship!  “For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.”

God loves it when we worship Him.  God is enthroned on the praises of His people.  Let’s praise God whenever we can!

Today is my 69th birthday.  I remember several years ago after my diagnosis, wondering if I’d see my next birthday.  I guess God’s not done with me yet!
