In hindsight, I realized I could have waited with more joy and faith. Psalms 33:20-22 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. 21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. 22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in…
Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Psalm 15 asks who may lodge in the Lord’s tent. Who will dwell in the holy hill of the Lord? This speaks about being with the Lord. Can you imagine lodging as a guest in the Lord’s house? Can you imagine being next to Him or being able to see him? This position of…
