Psalm 84

Psalm 84

Longing for the Temple Worship.

    For the choir director; ^[a]on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. ¹ How lovely are Your dwelling places,
O LORD of hosts!
² My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
³ The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
My King and my God.
⁴ How blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are ever praising You.
                         ^[b]Selah.
 ⁵ How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
In ^[c]whose heart are the highways to Zion!
⁶ Passing through the valley of ^[d]Baca they make it a ^[e]spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.
⁷ They go from strength to strength,
^[f]Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
 ⁸ O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob!
                         Selah.


⁹ Behold our shield, O God,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.
¹⁰ For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
¹¹ For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold ^[g]from those who walk ^[h]uprightly.
¹² O LORD of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!

Update on the news of our newest sunshine beam

Well there's the little blessing in well the one on the paper :) as you can see there are two other blessings in this photo, but we're talking about the 11 week and one day baby who's heart beat is beating at 164 bpm!  So precious.  We've been so blessed this will be grand baby four!!!! Shiloh has no idea what's up with this but she will.  She actually met a newborn today and she was pointing at her and saying that, that, then went to get a dummy, sucky soother what ever you call it and was trying to give it to the baby her mom said it was sweet.  But then Shiloh kept wanting to put the blanket over it's face haha so mommy thought ok no more doing that.  I think Shiloh needs to see more babies :) to help her get ready for her new baby coming home in February.  This ultrasound was done July 22, Jazrialle's 4th birthday :) which I'll post about tomorrow.  Until then.  Keep your eyes fixed on the Lord! :)
