My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from Psalm 84:1, “How lovely is your Tabernacle. O Lord of hosts! Even your altars, O Lord of Hosts, My King and My God”.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters , we see how the psalmist David, says, How lovely is your tabernacle! David actually seemed to have written this psalm when he was forced by his son Absalom’s rebellion to quit the city. And David lamented over his absence from the city as it spoiled the harmony of his communion with God. Divine worship were performed in the tabernacle as it was the dwelling place of God. The Holy of Holies, the holy place, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters , today we see a mad rush after lovely things of this world. But the Psalmist says, “How lovely is Your tabernacle.! Yes when such people who go after the things of this world suddenly get entangled with the snare of this world. At such times people approach the holy tabernacle. The only place that can solve ones problem. If there is a place of refuge for the sick and the diseased then it is the tabernacle. David was left alone feels so distressed . Sometimes we are left alone to face the challenges in life. You too might be facing similar situation in your life. You might have been rejected by everyone. And therefore you are looking out for a city of refuge. Then I earnestly request you to approach the tabernacle. If one approaches the tabernacle he will experience the goodness of God in his life. Never forget that God is in control of your life. He will lift you up from the miry clay and set your feet upon the rock. He will put a new song in your mouth and all your crooked ways, shall be straightened.
God will raise you out of your lowly position and lift you out of the ash heap and enable you to sit along with the princes. This indicates that God will elevate your position to a better status in life. Therefore don’t lose your hope in God. He is a God who gives life to the dead, and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. Believe in this God and you will find a great change in your life.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord for revealing to us the greatness of the tabernacle of God. Help us to approach the tabernacle when we are in trouble. May we experience the holiness of Your Sanctuary, Revive our hearts, mind and soul. Teach us to experience the relationship with God and commune with Him each day of our life. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
