Passage: Psalm 84 Speaker: Pastor Jon Kopp Series: Summer in the Psalms
Speaker: Jon Kopp - If the famous words of Psalm 42, "Why are you downcast, oh my soul?" reflect the straining and strugglings of our relationship with God yet unfulfilled, Psalm 84 reflects the straining and strengthenings of our relationship with God fulfilled. "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.” But, don't rush ahead too quickly. Psalm 84 is not as neat and tidy as we'd like it to be. There's still longing. Still difficulty. Still the tension of living in a world that is not yet made whole. We often assume the blessed life is about getting what we think we want, but the more we listen to the words of Psalm 84, the more we the more we realize that the blessed life isn’t about getting everything we think we want—it’s about getting God. The good life is found in Him. Those who desire Him, pursue Him and trust Him are blessed.
