Psalm 84

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!” (V1).  The psalmist sang of the delights of fellowship with God – being in “the courts of the Lord … at Your altars” (v2,3).  In a world of temporary pleasures and fragile security, the psalmist had discovered the deep peace of a heart full of “the highways to Zion” (v5), a life set on course for God’s purposes and kingdom. Even as God’s people walk through struggles (the Valley of Baca), they “go from strength to strength” in His care (v7). 

“No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (v11). No earthly success compares to the joy of walking with the One who made us and saved us.
