Folks, I'm gonna tell you something. My father used to say, "If you find something that you're passionate about, you'll never have to work a day in your life." Well, I think the same can be said about Psalms 84. See here, Jack, when you read this chapter you can literally feel the passion that the writer has for the Lord. It's like he can't get enough of Him! He's so thankful for the Lord's blessings and protection, he's ready to shout it from the rooftops. He can hardly contain his joy over the Lord's favor. It's like he's singing a song of praise! C'mon, man!
And then he talks about how great it would be to live in the house of the Lord forever. He's so eager to be in His presence, he'd rather be there than anywhere else. He says that the Lord's Blessings are better than life itself. No malarkey! That's right, better than life! That's why the writers are so eager to make their way to the Lord's house. I'm not joking! They just can't get enough of Him.
So, what was that? Well, let me tell you. Psalms 84 is all about praising the Lord and His wonderful blessings. It's a reminder that His gifts are far better than any earthly thing we might have. And it's a reminder that when we get to His house, we will never want for anything again. Or uh, you know, we won't need anything else!
Listen, Jack, this chapter is a great reminder of how much the Lord loves us and how He's always ready to shower us with His blessings. It's a reminder that He's always there for us, no matter what. And it's a reminder that He can literally turn any situation around for our good. I tell you what, He's just that good! And that's why we should be thankful for every one of His blessings. So, excuse me, let's go ahead and give Him all the praise He deserves. Literally!
