All the Days of My Life

 All the Days of My Life

Psalms 27:4-6 (NASB95) 

4 One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple. 5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of Histent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. 6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Psalms 27:13-14 (NASB95) 

13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. 14 Wait for the LORD;Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.

On this day, seventy six years ago, in a small town in Illinois, Mother Brillhart delivered a baby boy. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, but my prayer is still the same as King David in Psalm 27: “That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life”. I’ve gone a lot of places and done a lot of things in these 76 years, but one thing remains the same, it is a joy to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in his presence. There are many times that “I would have despaired, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” None of us know the numer of our days and Proverbs 27 warns us not to boast:

Proverbs 27:1 (NASB95) Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

So wait for the Lord, be strong and have courage, and sing praises the the Lord. That’s all that really matters.
