As I continue my trek through the book of Psalms,a couple of Bible verses from Psalm 84, talking about worshiping in the Temple. And the advantages of being in God's presence together. Perfect as we head into the weekend and our opportunities to worship together in our various churches.

"How lovely is your Temple,
O Lord of the armies of heaven.

"How happy are those who can live in your Temple, singing your praises."

~ Psalm 84: 1, 4 LAB

Bible Commentary:   "The writer longed to step outside the bustling world and meet God inside his holy Temple. We can meet God anywhere at any time, but we know that going into a church building helps us step aside from the busy mainstream of life into a place where we can quietly meditate and pray. We find joy, not in the beautiful building, but in the praying, singing, teaching, preaching, and fellowship that take place there."

Thank You, God, for being able to worship together in our churches of choice. Help us not to take that opportunity for granted. Lead and guide us as we choose to sing, pray, worship, and fellowship together this coming week. Thank you, that while our 'how' might change, our 'Who' never changes. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
