Do you believe that? Hmmm, do I believe that?
Do I believe that it would be better to spend one day in the presence of God than a thousand days anywhere else, doing anything else? This psalm is all about living in the presence of God. The psalmist says that even a sparrow and a swallow will try to build their nests close to the altar of the Lord.
We get so tied up in our lives here. We make careful decisions about where we will live, and work, and play. We put down roots as if our life depended on it. And yet the reality is that our lives depend on God...or should.
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 Father, let my walk be blameless. Let me live in such a way that you will be my shield and will bestow favor and honor. Let me sing your praises today and every day. And let me long to be in your presence.
