This verse blessed me more than anything today! I’m so grateful for the Word of my Lord! He is so faithful! This verse just resonates with me so much right now. You know those days where earth seems to be so dim and heaven so bright, but ohhhhh so far still. I would so rather be a measly ol’ doorkeeper in the Lord’s house than on this earth right now. Sometimes life is really hard, but I know there will be joy in the morning! I know his mercies are new EVERY SINGLE MORNING!!! Lord, you are so good!

“How lovely is your dwelling place,
        O LORD of hosts!
    My soul longs, yes, faints
        for the courts of the LORD;
    my heart and flesh sing for joy
        to the living God.
    Even the sparrow finds a home,
        and the swallow a nest for herself,
        where she may lay her young,
    at your altars, O LORD of hosts,
        my King and my God.
    Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
        ever singing your praise! Selah
    Blessed are those whose strength is in you,  in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
    As they go through the Valley of Baca
        they make it a place of springs;
        the early rain also covers it with pools.
    They go from strength to strength;
        each one appears before God in Zion.
    O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
        give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
    Behold our shield, O God;
        look on the face of your anointed!
    For a day in your courts is better
        than a thousand elsewhere.
    I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
        than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
    For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
        the LORD bestows favor and honor.
    No good thing does he withhold
        from those who walk uprightly.
    O LORD of hosts,
        blessed is the one who trusts in you!”
(Psalm 84 ESV)
