"My whole being wants to be with the living God," Psalm 84:2.
Yes, O Lord Jehovah! Your home brings beauty all around it. Joy for you, the living God, inspires my deepest self. Even sparrows and swallows find their home in your courtyards, right around your altars, O my King and God! People alive in your palace - these blessed people! They sing your praises forever. They find their strength in you, whoever makes their way to Zion, your home! As we keep getting closer to home, we get stronger and stronger. You change valleys on the way home into refreshing way-stations. We long for you, our hearts, our souls yearn for home. O, what joy we anticipate in your presence, God of our forebears!
As we visit today with a brother or sister, fellow travelers, we point each other ahead, to home, forgoing frontage roads to nowhere. And, together, we sing anticipatory praises to you, our Savior.
