Psalm 84:2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Unfortunately, I saw a lot of time tick off the clock last night. I’ve got a lot on my mind, and any time I was awake, all that junk just came rushing to the front, crowding my thoughts, demanding my attention. I love God so much, yet I have always had trouble laying everything at His feet and leaving it there. It is something I continue to work on.
Psalm 84:4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they are ever praising You.
Instead of being stuck in endless worry-cycles, I continue to strive to cultivate a soul that yearns for God. I want to dwell in His house, be blessed with His peace that passes all understanding. I want to be ever praising Him. This cultivation is, for me, an incredibly slow process, but I keep trying.
Psalm 84:5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. I want You to be my strength. My heart has been on this pilgrimage to draw closer to You for quite some time. Help me not to lose sight of the progress I’ve made. Help me to keep striving to draw closer still. Help me always to trust in You. Amen.
Psalm 84:12 Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts You.
Have a blessed day.
