Psalm 84:2
“My soul longeth, yea,
even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for
the living God.”
What do we learn about the living God?
What does your soul long for? What do you desire above all
things? Is it things of this life? Earthly treasures? Things that really will
not matter to eternity? Or maybe you have a legitimate desire to serve God in
some way.
Even the last mentioned thing may become a wrong desire. Life can become very busy, especially as a
Christian serving the Lord. We need not to be caught up in the matters of life.
Instead, we should say, as David said, “One
thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the
house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD,
and to enquire in His temple.” We must always return to the basics of
having an intimate, loving relationship with our God. Our primary desire,
always, should be simple communion with God.
In the second half of this verse, the psalmist literally
says, “My heart and my flesh sing for joy
to the living God.” Do you find joy in your God, in the one and only living
God? Knowing your God should fill you with joy, and make you want to praise
Him! There are so many reasons to praise God. Spend some time right now
praising the living God for a variety of things.
