I was glad
when they said
unto me,
Let us go
into the house
of the Lord.

Psalm 122

Why should that make me glad?

  1. I have the option of going to God’s house.
  2. I don’t have to go by myself.
  3. Someone wants me to go with him.
  4. I matter at least that much to someone.

So…can I convey (“channel,” if you will) that kind of gladness to someone else?

O give thanks unto the Lord;
for he is good:
because his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon the Lord in distress:
the Lord answered me,
and set me in a large place.

The Lord taketh my part
with them that help me….

It is better to trust in the Lord
than….

The Lord is my strength and song,
and is become my salvation.

Save now,
I beseech thee, O Lord:
O Lord, I beseech thee,
send now prosperity.

God is the Lord,
which hath shewed us light….

Psalm 118
