Better Is One Day: Psalm 84
How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!
The Sons of Korah wrote this—Levites who served in the temple, who knew its courts intimately. Lovely. The Hebrew suggests beloved, dear, desirable. The temple was not just impressive but cherished.
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Yearning that produces fainting. The longing is so intense that strength fails. Heart and flesh—the whole person—crying out. Not for temple architecture but for the living God who dwells there.
