Devotional: Psalm 84

Today’s passage: Psalm 84

Helpful thoughts:

  • This is a psalm of ascents.  It was to be sung on the way to worship in Jerusalem at the Temple.
  • There are three uses of being “blessed”:
    • Blessed are those who dwell in your house (Verse 4).
      • Why?  Because they get to sing praises continually.
    • Blessed are those whose strength is in you (Verse 5).
      • Why? God has put it in their hearts to draw near to Him.
    • Blessed is the one who trusts in You (Verse 12).
      • Why? Because God is the LORD of hosts.  He is over all.  He will never know defeat.  Trusting in anyone or anything else is folly.

Questions to consider:

  1. How could these truths and blessings be applied to prayer and worship together with the church? (Hebrews 4:16, Hebrews 10:19-25)
  2. What things/distractions/values keep us from seeing things like prayer, Bible reading, church meetings as being better than a thousand days doing anything else?  Who is it that makes going to church a great thing?  Who is responsible for making it anything less than exhilarating (Your pastor included!)?
  3. What actually makes relationship with God truly exhilarating?  If we think “bells and whistles” will make being with God more appealing, what are we missing? (Psalm 73:25-26)
