Psalm 84:10 – 10 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.
I was walking at work when the thought of how exciting it will be for us to be with the Lord. The thing that was going through my mind is the best day we have ever had here won’t be as good as the worst day on a scale in heaven. That’s pretty amazing when you think about it.
Then I get home that evening and I sit down at my computer and the Holy Spirit put Psalm 84:10 in my mind. Not just Psalm 84, but 84:10. It is really neat when this kind of stuff happens. It’s one of those assurances that the Lord wants me to blog on the topic.
We sing a song in church a lot which the chorus is on this verse. Better is one day in your courts, better is one day in your house, better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere.
How great will it be? Well God created the earth and every living thing on it. The earth is cursed after the fall and man has entered into sin. Still we have wondrous beauty and can still have great time in fellowship together and in God. It is beyond imagination of how a perfect world that God created along with his creation redeemed can be.
One thing we can rest assured and that is it will be great. Don’t listen to Satan’s voice. He’s a liar when he tries to convince you and others that Heaven sounds boring. Don’t buy into the lie of you better get while you can while its guarenteed.
John 8:44 – 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
The devil wants you to live for yourself. He doesn’t wanting you trying to help others find Jesus and share in His happiness later. We need to live by that faith and not listen to any doubt the wrong voice is saying.
