The house of the Lord

 

David in this psalm expresses a profound confidence, a confidence entirely grounded in God. He understands that it is his trust in, his love for, reliance on, praise of, and gratitude to God, which enable him to transcend his fears and anxieties. David’s focus is on God, more than all else he desires proximity to God. Almost as a by-product, this focus on God allows him to surmount life’s problems, to see them from a different and higher perspective.

Lord, thank you that in Jesus you came to us and made your dwelling with us. In these difficult days help us to make our dwelling with you, that we may ‘dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of our life’.
