S. Psalm 84:10-11(NIV) “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. 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.”
O. The Psalmist writes that it is better to spend one day in the courts of God than a thousand elsewhere. What a great thought. It is better to spend one day in church enjoying His presence with other believers than to be in any vacation spot in the world. It is better than any trip, any beach, any hotel, any mountain top – being in God’s house is simply better than any other place. There’s no place like God’s house.
A. This is why I don’t miss church. I love being with God’s people – worshipping, enjoying fellowship, teaching, and sharing God’s Word – watching people move forward in their spiritual life. It’s amazing and it’s a blessing.
P. Thank you Lord that today I get to spend time with your people – your church, worshipping you. Use me today to help others get connected to you, moving forward in their spiritual life, and joining a small group. I give you all the praise. In Jesus’ name I ask these things!
