OUR COMMITMENT TO THE LORD PROVIDES HOPE

[pastor samuel]

He Is Committed To Lingering Near The Lord – David wants to spend his entire life in the house of the Lord.  He wants to be in that place where the Lord dwells and where the Lord’s presence is real.  This is a theme David repeated in Psalm 84:1-4.  There, David envies the little birds that make their nests around the tabernacle.  They can be near the house of God all the time, while David cannot.  He has a desire to be where God is; to be in that place where God is worshiped and honored.  That is his heartbeat.

That ought to be our desire as well.  We need that same passion to be where the Lord is honored and where He is worshiped.  Of course, we have the church and we are commanded to be in attendance, Heb. 10:25.  But, I think there ought to be a desire to find that place of closeness and intimacy with the Lord.  We can have that place where we can linger in His presence all the days of our lives.
