Psalm 84 is a song about the joy and blessedness of being in God’s presence, specifically within the Temple in Jerusalem. It expresses a deep longing for that presence, even describing a journey through hardship as preferable to being far from God. The psalm emphasizes God as a source of strength, protection, and joy for those who seek Him.
In times of trouble or distress we need to go to the One who is above our problems and greater than our circumstances. We must look to God who has been faithful and who continues to be a faithful rock in times of need.
The Resurrection of Jesus was the single greatest event in history. This chapter highlights the witnesses at the resurrection (1-8), the wonder accompanying the resurrection (9-15), and the way after the resurrection (16-20).
