📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 84

How lovely is your dwelling place,
    O Lord of hosts!
²My soul longs, yes, faints
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
    to the living God.

³Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
    my King and my God.
⁴Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
    ever singing your praise! Selah

⁵Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.^[b]
⁶As they go through the Valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    the early rain also covers it with pools.
⁷They go from strength to strength;
    each one appears before God in Zion.

⁸O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
⁹Behold our shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed!

¹⁰For a day in your 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.
¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does he withhold
    from those who walk uprightly.
¹²O Lord of hosts,
    blessed is the one who trusts in you!

1:02.4	Now let's stop there for a moment just think in your praise.
1:03.0	Now let's stop there for a moment just think about what the psalmist is describing.
1:08.3	He mentions things like the courts of the Lord and the house of the Lord. Now in Israel during that time when this
1:16.4	Psalm was written the House of the what scholars have called the Shakina glory.
1:34.0	Shakina is a Hebrew word and it's just describing the glory of God was there.
1:41.0	It appears to have been like a glow, like a mist, like a powerful
1:45.0	manifestation of his presence that sometimes even the priests could not go in
1:49.3	because it was so strong you can read about that in the accounts of when the temple was
1:53.8	established and dedicated under Solomon and so when the writer is talking about
1:59.3	being in the courts of the Lord being the house of the Lord, being the house of the Lord, he is talking literally
2:06.1	about being in the very room where the presence of God is being manifested.
2:13.4	Now we've seen lots of movies with special effects and things like that so we get this
