One of the purposes of Psalms is to lift us up to the greater picture. This is so true with Psalm 84 – the sons of Korah are celebrating the Home Israel has found in Yahweh – the great Lord of Hosts! The Message translates this Name as “the God of the Angel Armies.” Wow.
In what ways have your found a “home” in God? How does Hebrews 11:13-16 resonate with your God experience?
“All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.”
Pretty cool my traveling friend.
