Better is one Day in Your Court

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 05Sep2025

Better is one Day in Your Court

Scripture Reference: Ps 84:10

My desire as a believer is inspired by the statement David made in scripture: "For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere." I would rather stand as a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live comfortably in the tents of wickedness. I long to serve in the house of my God, stand at the gate, and spend time in Your temple. One day in Your house, the beautiful place of worship, surpasses thousands spent on Greek island beaches. I would rather scrub floors in the house of my God than be honoured as a guest in the palace of sin.

Father God, Your dwelling place is beautiful. Our souls long for it, even to the point of fainting. Our hearts and flesh cry out, always praising You. We consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus, our Lord.(Php 3:8). Only one thing is necessary, Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her (Lk 10:42). Help us to focus as Mary did. This is what we desire. To dwell in the House of the LORD all the days of our lives, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and Seek HIM in HIS Temple (Ps 27:4), In Jesus Name, Amen.

The Lord gives Grace and Glory. He withholds no good thing from those wo walk with integrity! Ps 84:11

  • Blessed are those who dwell in Your house, who strength is in You.
  • Blessed is the Man who TRUSTS in You. 
Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend. 

In His Grip

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
