Shade Tree Wisdom 12/15/15

          Sometimes we get the feeling, ‘why, it’s good to be here’.

          That’s the kind of feeling our Lord evokes with this Psalm. He says: “For a day in Your Courts is better than A thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a Doorkeeper in the house Of My God, than dwell In the tents of wickedness.” Psalm 84,10

          Here the psalmist is making a choice. A doorkeeper was a lowly position. It’s maybe like a child embarrassed because his mom is a cleaning lady, or some such. Like some of us not going to church because it’s not built of brick.

          In sum, the best possible place I could be is in ‘the house of My God’, learning more about Jesus, My Savior.
