My Soul Yearns for the Courts of the Lord 

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Psalm 84:1-5 (KJV)

The Morning Exhortation

Some form of resistance training is essential to maintain strength as we get older, and the fountain of youth is a spirit filled with a child-like faith in God. This too comes by grace, and God forbid that we use grace to fulfil the vain desires of the flesh. Deny the flesh and nourish the soul by glorifying God in every thought, word, and deed. Troubled times are upon us. Seeing is NOT believing. Sight is seeing and faith is believing. It is of the upmost importance in these last days that we keep our focus on the ultimate end, least we be swept away with all that is perishing around us. The time is near when the draw bridge of grace will be withdrawn, and all who are not in Christ will perish. Blessed are those who seek the Lord while He may be found.
