Day 20 Psalm 84:1-7

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
3 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.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise!
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

Reflection: Zion is the dwelling place of God, the place where His throne is established. It is a source of abundant life and a manifestation of victorious power! I cannot help but exclaim: “O Lord of hosts, how lovely is your dwelling place!” I desire to be among those who draw strength from the Lord, who not only long for the highways of Zion in their hearts but also walk faithfully along them. Even though this path may lead through the Valley of Baca, God can turn the valley into springs of life, and His blessings, like the autumn rain, will cover the entire valley.
