“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set
their hearts on pilgrimage.” Psalm 84:5
(NIV)
Blessed: When God blesses us, He smiles
on us.
Strength: We sing the chorus, “The joy of the LORD is my strength.
(Nehemiah 8:10) Nehemiah prefaces this thought with the simple words, “Do not
grieve.” When we become sad, we lose strength. This loss can also happen when
we get angry. We become susceptible to all kinds of physical, emotional, and
mental conditions.
“Set their hearts” Those who progress
in this world get their goal in their sights and work to achieve that goal. As
followers of Christ, we asked Jesus into our hearts and daily strive to live
for Him.
“pilgrimage” Our lives with Christ are
individual journeys. Like a pilgrimage, our walk with the Lord leads us to a
very special destination—heaven to live with Him.
It's interesting to break this scripture down like this, isn't it? My desire is to continue to set my heart on Him, and walk in His ways. Learning something new all the time! :) Thank you for sharing this today. Have a great weekend!
