Ps. 84:1-2 How lovely is
your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty. I
long, yes, I faint with longing, to enter the courts of the LORD. With my whole being, body and soul, I will
shout joyfully to the living God.
To be where God is
ought to be the longing of every believer's heart. God gives us glimpses of what heaven will be
like and we can only imagine just how grand, majestic and glorious it will
be. God reveals heaven to us in human
language and I am convinced that it is far more than anything we can
imagine. What we know of heaven
captivates our thoughts. We want to go
there. In fact, it is the longing of all
who believe there is God. All but those
who refuse to acknowledge that God is, want to go there. For most people there longing for heaven is
merely wishful thinking, but for the redeemed it is certain reality.
Yet, the longing of the
soul should be where God is today. He is
with us. We do not have to wait to get
to heaven in order to enter into God's presence. Being with God today should equally captivate
our hearts. We should have a longing in
our hearts to approach God. Drawing near
to God should stir our souls like nothing else can. The glory and holiness of God are beyond
human imagining. To be in the presence
of eternal and pure love is beyond our ability to fully appreciate. Oh, the beauty of the Lamb! Oh, to be near to the heart of God! Oh, the glory of our God and King!
Sing His praises
today! With your whole being, body and
soul, praise His holy name! Shout
joyfully unto the Lord, for He has saved your soul. Shout joyfully unto the Lord for He is with
you and will never leave or forsake you.
Shout joyfully unto the Lord and let Him know how much you love
Him. Shout it; don't whisper it. "The Lord Almighty is MY God. The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!"
Praise the Lord, oh my
soul, and all that is within me, praise His holy name.
