Saturday Morning. Wonderful Praise and Worship. Has not been experiencing this for quite some time. Pastor Sam's birthday today. We had a small Breakfast Party for Ps Sam, good time...good food:) The passage preached today is focus on Ps 84.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry outfor the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob.

9 Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
12 O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

It's very encouraging. It's about His Glory, about His presence...nothing else matter. Like how Moses cried out: " If Your presence did not go with us, we don't want to leave this place". If Your presence not with us, it's worthless for us to move on from here, to serve and to have our being...Come and dwell in us through our workplace, our family, our church...Come and reign..
