"Better is one day in your courts
 than a thousand elsewhere;

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

    than dwell in the tents of the wicked." 

 Psalm 84:10

Today as i woke up, Psalm 84:10 really spoke to me. And i realized how important God's presence is in my life. How He brings peace and joy and its fragrance would linger about me. Because of Who He is. I don't know how i could live without Him and it would be terrible.

I also know He has to be in the centre of my Heart and Life. That if anything comes between Me and Him, it wouldn't work out well, because only He brings fulfillment and purpose to life. I would rather be anywhere near and with God even if its at the threshold of His house, than in a mansion far from Him. Because, for a strange sense, there is more wealth and value, or jewels in the soul close to God, let me try to explain, its like the inside of you filled with heaven and wonder brings much more than if inside is storm and thunder yet everything around is luxurious and comfort. 

" I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of the wicked "

There is beauty , real beauty where God is, there is grace, peace, calm and joy. And i know that where God is not, there would be envy, strive, discontent, darkness, it would just be prison. Really and truly there is freedom in Christ. Where He is, as He dwells inside, He truly lifts of the burden of life so we may live forth His glory in faith.

"Tents. Observe the force of the contrasted expressions. The house is the Lord's; the tents are of the wicked.The pleasures of sin are for a season only; the world passeth away, and the lusts thereof." Arthur Pridham.

I have also been reminded greatly that the Lord has given me a Helper too, 

" These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name. He will teach you all things, and bring you to remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do i give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. "John 14:25-27

Words of love and comfort from an awesome God. Thank you Jesus.
