I like Psalm 84; it talks about the dwelling place of the Lord, saying: “Blessed are the men whose strength is in thee…They go from strength to strength; the God of gods will be seen in Zion.” It also tells of a heartfelt cry for God to hear our prayers and “look upon the face of thine anointed!”

You know, our home is in the Lord. It doesn’t matter where we are. He is always with us. The Psalm also says: “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.” Wouldn’t you rather be with the Lord, instead of dwelling in the tents of wickedness?

“No good thing does the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee!” I pray that we will receive all the good things the Lord has for us, and continue to trust in Him, so that we will be wonderfully blessed. Amen.
