Better Is One Day ... (Psalm 84:10)

Today's scripture: Psalm 84:10

I’ve written this many, many times, but I’m really ready to be in the presence of my Lord. Seriously. Any time.

This world offers nothing that entices me and makes me long to stay. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. In fact, as I watch the news or glance through the internet, all I can think of is how perverse this world is. And it’s getting worse daily.

Today’s verses resonate so deeply in my heart: “I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.” So true.

I guess this is a good place to be in my journey. So many of my young friends are still seeking “fame and fortune,” and they think this world has something worthwhile to offer. They’re still hoping to get the “stuff.” Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a nice home or driving a reliable car. It’s not wrong to pursue your passion.

But we have to remember how fleeting this life is. The most important thing—the only real thing—is knowing we’ll one day stand before God’s throne.

And there’s no place I’d rather be.
