Santa Clara Clarion
Weekly Staying Connected, September 4
One day in your temple is better than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather serve in your house, than live in the homes of the wicked. Psalm 84:10
I love this song, "Better is one day in Your courts. Better is one day in Your house. Better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere." I have never ever read about the rest of this verse that talks about serving in God's house instead of living in the homes of the wicked.
Another version says, "Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.In other words, the verse means, "I'd rather open the doors in God's house, than to dwell in wickedness." Whatever, God has given us to with, the gifts the He has given us, whether or not we think it is worthy or not, we are do it unto the Lord. No looking around, no comparing, but doing our best for the Lord, for His glory.
This is something to think about during Labor Day Weekend. Whatever we do, do it for God's glory.
