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
