 Shalom,

Today I simply want to leave you with these two passages from Psalm 84 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! Verses 4-5:

4 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who dwell in Your house and Your presence; they will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 5 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

I love that they define 'blessed' here as "happy, fortunate and to be envied"! That IS what the Blessing of the Lord will DO for YOU! Here are verses 10-12 now:

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of wickedness. 11 For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. 12 O Lord of hosts, blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts in You [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, and that without fear or misgiving]!

Now I pray that YOU will commit everything to HIM, without fear, KNOWING that HE loves you with HIS everlasting, never failing, all consuming LOVE! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with another new song from their new album. This one is called "Lord Send Revival":

Shalom in Him!
