O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed! For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD, God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
Lord, not only have You given me a day in Your court, You have given me thousands and certain hope of an infinite more to come. And You keep showing me the treasures of Your courts, revealing the myriads and myriads of blessings that flow from Your presence. The good things, the jewels from Your treasure chest, are poured over me in a cascading flood of light and color, revealing an Understanding of You as Goodness.
Praise You, LORD God Almighty.
