Joy in God's House (Psalm 84, Part 2)


God’s Strength (verses 5-8)
God invites us to draw on His strength. When we go through arid places God’s rain turns them into valleys of springs. His blessings give us energy to continue our arduous trek as we travel His path. Once we break through discouragement and dryness we will find sweet refreshment in God’s house. Our worship turns dry wasteland into a well-watered garden. Our joy comes from our hope in God. Joyful festivities make up for all the hardships of the journey.

O God, as weary pilgrims we trek through the wilderness. Our steps lighten in anticipation of Your presence. Give us Your strength as we go through the valley of weeping. Make it a place of springs so we can go from strength to strength.
