Psalms 84:9

An invitation has been given to us through the victory of Jesus: the Habitation of God's presence. His heart for us is not to rescue us from life but to be transformed by His love. Join Leeland on a 3-day journey, singing with The Psalmist David, "My soul longs for the house of God, my heart and my flesh cry out to the living God."

There are times in our walk with the Lord when we may be acting within our faith but aren't investing ourselves wholeheartedly in it. Sometimes we need guidance to bring us back into a fully invested personal relationship with God. In this reading plan, Lenya Heitzig guides us through Psalm 84 and shows us how to apply it to our faith no matter the season we are in life.

When David wrote this psalm, he wasn’t relishing in abundance, propping his feet up in the palace. David was really in the valley of the shadow of death – it’s possible there was a death warrant on his head. Yet, he spoke of peace in the valley because he knew the Good Shepherd. What he discovered there in the valley is yours for the asking, as well.

Whether you realize it or not, you were designed to long for God. Not just to long for him, of course, but to seek and find, thirst and be satisfied, cry out and be answered beyond your dreams. Those desires come through strongly in Psalms, and several “songs of searching” show us how God enters into our own experience at our points of need to satisfy our longings forever.
