Scripture
Psalm 84:1 (NLT)
How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
Consider
When the psalmist wrote this song, he was far away from the temple in Jerusalem. Although he wrote with longing for the courts of the Lord, it was not the temple building that drew him but rather the Lord who dwelt there. How lovely, the poet sang, to be in the presence of God, who loves his people so much that he makes his home in their midst.
Because of Jesus, God’s temple has moved from a building in Jerusalem into the hearts and lives of the people who call themselves the church.
