Hugs this SONday
Good Morning!! What a day Our Father has blessed us with!
I am off to my Father's House and wanted to share this devotion with you today as I head off to be in HIS house.
Psalm 84
"My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God"
How often, Lord, has this psalm been in my heart and on my lips during those Sundays when I could not join Your people in Your house to celebrate Your conquest of sin and death through Jesus Christ. When I could not be in Your house, You were in mine. I praise You for that, but we both know that falls short of the joy experienced in corporate worship, where Your presence, and the blessings flowing from it, become sun and shield, grace and glory. This gives strength to my faith and hope and love.One Sunday in Your house beats a thousand elsewhere. (oh, how I love to sing this song too, Father!) Indeed, it is a source of strength added to strength by which the days elsewhere can be lived effectively and productively.
I yearn for Your house because I hunger and thirst for You. You are present there in special ways to confer special benefits. I bless Your name, almighty God, for festival, freedom, and favor bestowed as privileges during worship services that focus on You, on who You are and what You do. "Blessed" indeed "is the man who trusts in you." I put my trust in you, Father always!
Enjoy your day whereever you may be! If you cannot be in Your Father's house today, invite him into yours! Praise HIM!
I love you all! And I am giving you a big HUG!!!
