Psalm 27:5 (NIV)
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter
of his sacred tent …
God’s sacred tabernacle, the heavenly House of the Lord — it’s my eternal home, thanks be to God.
Good morning, Lord. Thank You for the hope of heaven — eternal life in the sacred shelter of Your presence. And when I’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, I’ll have no less days to to sing Your praise than when I’d first begun. [from “Amazing Grace,” John Newton, 1779]
This one made me cry.
Happy, hopeful tears? That’s my prayer.
