—Psalm 84
by: Victoria Shephard.
The psalmist was longing for the temple. For some reason, perhaps distance, he was not able to go and so he pours out the despair his heart in this psalm. Do we feel as strongly as he did about worshiping God? Do we believe that “a day in “God’s” courts is better than a thousand elsewhere” (v. 10, ESV)? Would we rather do a menial job for the Lord “than dwell in the tents of wickedness” (v. 10, ESV)? Let us look forward to our church services each week as the privilege they are—time to worship the God who gave us spiritual life.
