Day 20 Psalm 84:1-7

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise!
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

Reflection: Zion is the dwelling place of God, the place where His throne is established. It is a source of abundant life and a manifestation of victorious power! I cannot help but exclaim: “O Lord of hosts, how lovely is your dwelling place!” I desire to be among those who draw strength from the Lord, who not only long for the highways of Zion in their hearts but also walk faithfully along them. Even though this path may lead through the Valley of Baca, God can turn the valley into springs of life, and His blessings, like the autumn rain, will cover the entire valley.

Day20 詩篇84:1-7
1（可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長，用迦特樂器。）萬軍之耶和華啊，袮的居所何等可愛！
2 我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇；我的心腸，我的肉體向永生 神呼籲（或作：歡呼）。
3 萬軍之耶和華——我的王，我的 神啊，在袮祭壇那裡，麻雀為自己找著房屋，燕子為自己找著抱雛之窩。
4 如此住在袮殿中的便為有福！他們仍要讚美袮。
5 靠袮有力量、心中想往錫安大道的，這人便為有福！
6 他們經過流淚谷，叫這谷變為泉源之地；並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。
7 他們行走，力上加力，各人到錫安朝見 神。

【心得分享】錫安，是 神的居所，是 神寶座設立之處，那裡有生命豐富的泉源，有得勝權能的彰顯！我就止不住地說，萬軍之耶和華啊，袮的居所何等可愛！我要成為那靠著主有力量，不僅心中想往錫大道、更是行走在其上的 神的百姓。走在這條路上，雖會經歷流淚谷，但 神卻能叫這谷變成泉源之地，並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。
