Text for the Day -- Psalm 84:1-4 ---------- How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God. Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise.
Devotional ---------- A place of worship, where a community can gather to praise, fellowship and prayer, is very life giving. You hear in the words of the psalmist the yearning and the joy that comes in being part of a worshiping community. Notice the phrase, "living God." That is the key to praise and gratitude in worship. When you begin being conscious of and experiencing the "living" presence of God, you have a reason to be excited about worship.
Prayer ---------- I open my heart to your presence, Lord. Fill me with your love. Amen
