BETTER—1 BETTER IS ONE DAY

 LET GO OF THE GOOD TO GRAB HOLD OF THE BETTER.

 

BETTER IS ONE DAY WITH GOD

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! 2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God….10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere: I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. Psalm 84:1-2, 10

 

HOW DO YOU HAVE A DAY WITH GOD?

  • LIVE WITH AN ONGOING, UNENDING AWARENESS OF GOD’S PRESENCE.

 

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus… Colossians 3:17

 

DEVELOP THE HABIT OF

  • CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH GOD.

 

Be joyful always; 17 pray continually. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17

  • INSTANT OBEDIENCE TO GOD.

 

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25

 

  • A DAILY DESPERATION FOR GOD.

Taste and see that the Lord is good… Psalm 34:8

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. Psalm 63:1-3
