March 25, Psalm 84:10

“One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship, beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches. I’d rather scrub floors in the house of my God than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin. All sunshine and sovereign is God , generous in gifts and glory. He doesn’t scrimp with his traveling companions. It’s smooth sailing all the way with God-of-the-Angel-Armies.”

Psalm 84:10 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.

It’s all relative, you see.  To the believer, spending time with God is far better than the best of vacations you could ever dream of.  That’s what David is saying here.  So beautiful and intimate is this relationship with God that nothing compares.  It is incomparable and altogether marvelous to the point of being indescribable.  May it be that you and I might also boast about a personal relationship with God, our father, just like the Psalmist does.
