"Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." -Psalm 84:10 (NIV)
As the weather turns colder in some areas, people start packing up and heading to warmer weather. Whether for a short vacation or an extended stay, the warm weather can be a welcomed change from cold, snowy conditions. Even though time away in warmer weather is enticing, most people return to their homes at the end of their stay.
When we consider our spiritual dwelling, there are times when the ways of the world may try to distract us from our calling. Even when the devil tries to lure us away, we should remember the love and rewards that God provides for us. One day with God is always better than any other option. We can be sure we dwell with God by talking to Him morning, noon, and night. If we stumble and move away from God, He is always willing to welcome us back to Him. When we draw close to and dwell with God, we do not have to worry about the devil and his ways!
Draw close to God and dwell with Him today and every day!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for giving me the option to dwell with You. Please guide me and help me to make the choices that keep me with You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
