Psalm of the Day

After my last service call, it was wonderful to stay “home” today. I would much rather be here. The Psalm for today echoes my feelings entirely.

Psalm 84: 10-12

¹⁰For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than live in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
he bestows favour and honour.
No good thing does the Lord withhold
from those who walk uprightly.

There’s a challenge here: “from those who walk uprightly”. I suppose the fail-safe here is simply this: We try to walk uprightly. This doesn’t mean we don’t fall.

¹²O Lord of hosts,
happy is everyone who trusts in you.

Ah. The “trust” factor. I’m certainly not one of the “Pollyanna” folks. But I do agree.  I’m much happier when I trust in The One In Charge.
