STEEMCHURCH: How lovely is your dwelling place!

Psalm 84 1:4

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.

Dear friends

Psalm 84 invites us to pray, letting us know that there is emotion, where each of its expressions is linked to our life of relationship with the Lord.

The word is a lamp and light to our path, a path of spiritual growth that begins precisely with the new birth in the spirit John 14:16-17.

We still do not have spiritual eyes to see his Light, and he can not be a guide because our spiritual ears are sealed. But when we have a personal encounter with God, our spirit awakens from its deep sleep, from spiritual death and can clearly perceive this new world of experiences that were previously not possible due to the state of death of our being.

In Christ we go from death to life, a life of much better quality than we had, a life that does not end with the death of our natural body, but is eternal, or what is the same, is light. And just as darkness does not prevail in light, death can not make a dent in this eternal life of which we now participate.

It tells us about the first encounter, our encounter with the Son. The expression "How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almight!." It shows us the exclamation of the discovery of something great, that we have been able to find. We use this expression when we realize that something that is common that has a great meaning. When the dwelling place of God takes on a special meaning for us, it ceases to be the temple, the meeting place, to now be the place of delight, the place that is kind, precious, full of meaning.
