Better is One Day...

Read Psalm 84

We delight and rejoice in a lot of things. But probably something we neglect to delight in on a daily basis is our future. Specifically where we will spend eternity with God and enjoy His presence in the New Jerusalem.

Psalm 84 speaks about how amazing God's dwelling place is; how it is better to spend one day in His courts than a thousand elsewhere. Think about that, do you anticipate with excitement living with God in eternity? Do you know what that will even be like?

God's word tells us so much about the house of God and where we'll spend eternity. But let's take a moment and focus on Psalm 84:10 - it says "Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere." That's powerful! And I believe it's because the Psalmist is anticipating the presence and holiness of God and being there to experience His great glory.

We're reminded of many things in the Bible - about God and about us. But the messages we're told over and over again about our future are filled with anticipation as we await heaven. Whatever you're facing today, allow this hope and excitement of what one day will be to overshadow these light and momentary trials.
