UNIT 2: Non-Davidic Psalms
Lesson 11: The Blessing of God’s Presence.
Study Text: Psalm 84:1-12
Central Truth: The presence of God brings blessing to His children.
Key Verse: Psalm 84:4 (New King James Version) – Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You. Selah
God made humans to be social beings. We are emotionally, spiritually, and even physically healthier when other people—valued friends and family, and even acquaintances and strangers—are present in our lives.
If you could spend a day with anyone, past or present, whom would you choose? Why?
There are many ways to answer this question. Some may choose a famous person from the past they admire or find interesting. Others may go with a beloved relative or friend that they miss. Such an experience would be quite exciting for some. For others, it might be a letdown, especially if it were a famous person who failed to live up to expectations. Many might find it to be a wonderful day with someone they especially cherish.
Spending time with others can surely be special for us. And as much as we might enjoy being with someone famous, the best times together happen with those closet to us. This is especially true for Christians, as we have the great pleasure and privilege of spending time with God. As we move through its twelve verses, we find that Psalm 84 is a great reminder of why this is true. Written by a member of the descendants of Korah, these are the words of someone who longs to be near to God. Through the course of some marvelous poetry, we discover why this is so. He favors us, hears us, consoles us, and protects us. As we move through this Psalm, think about specific ways your life is blessed when you are in the presence of God.
