Sermon Notes (Psalm 84)
Psalm 84 is a gem of a Psalm. Similar to Psalms 120-134, it is a Psalm on a journey, a Psalm that longs for our true home. It is a Psalm of desire, longing, and yearning. To pray Psalm 84 is to orient ourselves in the direction of our deepest desire. It reminds us that our deepest desires will be satisfied not by belief in some remote impersonal divine force, nor will they be satisfied by the pleasures of this life but only by a living God who encounters us personally. This God has done through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, making God’s people the new dwelling place of God.
