Better is One Day

"For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness" - Psalm 84:10

I think what that verse is saying is that it is better to be up where He is or wherever we are, He is with us. Just spending one day with / in His courts is better than a thousand in our courts, so to speak. One day is enough to spend with God, as one day seems like a thousand years (see 2 Pet 3:8) and vice versa. Wonder how long a day is up in heaven...??? That is FAR better than being in a place where we could not be with God.

I am bringing this verse up Today because as I was on my way to the hospital to see my grandma last week, the song, Better is One Day, was the first one I heard when I turned on the radio. I got to thinking about this everlasting life that we, as believers, have in Christ. His dwelling place must really be lovely and I think we should be excited about what is awaiting us up in heaven. Yes, that lovely inheritance in the midst of Heaven.
