Greetings,
Incredible blessings always await those who attend the House of God! In my personal devotions, I’ve been deeply impacted by the marvelous promises in the Book of Psalms given to those who worship corporately with God’s people on a regular basis.
Of course, when the psalms were written, there were no modern conveniences such as the air-conditioned automobiles, super highways, or comfortable buildings with sound systems that we are accustomed to today. People had to be concerned about thieves and other dangers they might encounter as they journeyed long distances to the House of God. But because they were faithful to attend, their blessings were multiplied a thousand-fold. Listen to this.
Psalm 84:10 (NKJV) – “For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
In our day, it may be difficult for some to attend the House of God, but for reasons other than the pilgrims who were going up to Jerusalem. Some cannot leave their homes because of illness. Some struggle with transportation. God understands. But whenever it’s possible, we should not miss being in God’s House. A blessing of multiplication is promised to those who faithfully come to worship. One day is equal to a thousand anywhere else.
Lord, thank You for providing a place of meeting where I can assemble with other believers to worship You. There is nothing like being in Your house and giving You the worship that You deserve. Each time we worship in Your Presence, I receive much more than I can possibly give. You are amazing!
Today, I’m worshiping with ORU and “Draw Me Close to You.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
