Psalm 84

Before I head to church this morning I just wanted to get a jump start on my passage memorization for December. : ) Psalm 84 is one that I have come back to again and again, and I think it's time to put all of the pieces together and memorize the entire psalm. I don't have a lot of scripture memorized, but I do believe that God puts the Word in our hearts to sharpen us and help us grow so when a specific passage is on my heart, I try to take time to memorize it.

I'll start today, with verses 1-2 and update this entry as I continue to commit this psalm to memory.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-- a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
