The Psalmist writes, “Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” Do you and I really want to be where Jesus is more than anywhere else in the world?
I know what you might be thinking. “I can’t wait to get to heaven.” This is not what the Psalmist meant in this passage. He’s referring to the Temple courts, which were on earth. This Temple housed the Living God, Who now resides inside Jesus believers.
We are in His presence, though heavily veiled, at the moment. It’s our thoughts, our emotions, and/or our actions that take us away from His presence. Sin separates. This is why James writes, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (4:8)
We can, in the Spirit’s power, choose to filter out those thoughts, emotions and/or actions to draw closer to where all the good stuff we’re looking for in life – His presence. Use the FREEdom process to hang out in those courts. You really don’t want to be anywhere else.
