Daily Verse
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.
Psalm 84:10
Daily Thought
Quantity Time. Most of life is Quantity Time. Filling the minutes, day in and day out. One week after another. The years pass.
Solomon explores the boundaries of Quantity Time and concedes...
"Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."
What does man gain from all his labor
at which he toils under the sun?"
--Ecclesiastes 1:2-3
Quality Time. High schoolers chase it on weekends. Parents pray for it on family outings. Couples remember the special evening and try to recreate it.
Quality time is elusive and hard to define, but you know it when you have it. Quality Time is an accident that shows up during Quantity Time.
Except in the Kingdom of God.
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.
--Psalm 84:10
Quality Time is all the time in the Kingdom of God.
To God's Glory,
Dave
Daily Prayer
Sovereign Lord, You are the Mighty King, Master of everything. You announce that Your Kingdom is near, that it is at hand. I am so sorry, God, that we rejected the King You sent us, Your Son. You grace is amazing, because You kept Your Kingdom in front of us.
Thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son. Thank You for life, the abundant life. The glimpse we get of eternity makes us long for Your presence. What a wonder You are.
Amen
