Psalms 83 and 84 - Lovely Dwelling Place

1 For the choir director; on the gittith; a psalm by Korah's descendants.

Your dwelling place is lovely, O Lord of Armies!
2 My soul longs and yearns
for the Lord's courtyards.
My whole body shouts for joy to the living God.
3 Even sparrows find a home,
and swallows find a nest for themselves.
There they hatch their young
near your altars, O Lord of Armies,
my king and my God.
4 Blessed are those who live in your house.
They are always praising you.
Psalms 84:1-4 (GW)

Reflection of B:

Until we come into the presence of God and enjoy His love, peace and joy, we will never know how "lovely" His dwelling place is. I have experienced that before. Ah.... I missed it. :( I have been too busy with my work.... working something like 16 to 17 hours a day, for at least 6 days a week in my current job. That's very bad! I need to change, I shouldn't let doing something 'good' result in something bad for me physically and spiritually.


Dear Lord,
Help me to learn to set a limit to my time spent at work. Help me not to get carried away by the business of life and lose Your presence with me. I missed You very much, Lord. Draw me once aagin and I will run after You.
In Your lovely name I plead. Amen.
