A day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere

A day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere

Blessed are those you choose
and bring near to live in your courts!

We are filled with the good things
of your house, of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome deeds of
righteousness, O God our Savior!

Psalm 65:4,5a NIV

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound:
they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day:
and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

Psalm 89:15,16 KJV

Blessed are those who dwell in thy house,
ever singing thy praise!

For a day in thy courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather be a doorkeeper
in the house of my God than dwell
in the tents of wickedness.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
he bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does the LORD withhold
from those who walk uprightly.

Psalm 84:4,10-11 RSV

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God

that saves is faith in Him.


Weekly Meditation

The LORD gives what is good

I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying,
for he speaks peace to his people, his faithful ones.
But let them not return to their foolish ways.

Surely his salvation is near to those who honor him;
our land will be filled with his glory.

Unfailing love and truth have met together.
Righteousness and peace have kissed!

Truth springs up from the earth,
and righteousness smiles down from heaven.

Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings.
Our land will yield its bountiful crops.

Righteousness goes as a herald before him,
preparing the way for his steps.

Psalm 85:8-13 NLT
